Fluffy Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 is partner limited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endymion77 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 4♠ is quite clear, I have just about the best negative response I could have, and it looks like we've found a great fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamHenry Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 4♠ can't do any harm. Partner should get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Partner could've bid 2H at his second turn, which would be the equivalent of 2C 2D 2H in standard methods, and he didn't do that, so partner could have up to a 21 count in theory.

Zelandakh Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Playing in my own style, I would answer 4♠ to 4♦ showing a good hand for slam and 1 key card. Playing a more traditional way I would still bid 4♠, this time simply showing a suitable hand with a spade control. As an aside, would 2♦ over 1♠ not have shown 5+ hearts and 4+ diamonds? Is there an inference here that Opener holds 6+ hearts and precisely 3 diamonds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 In the context of a negative response, presumably showing 0-7 HCP, I have quite a nice hand notwithstanding the singleton heart. I think 4♠ is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJNeill Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 4N. The club control cannot be found *and* the keycards shown (if using Turbo, we can't stop either if sufficient keycards are there). The other option of 4S I think doesn't really communicate much because partner's 4D was forcing us to cue with any non-crap anyways. My assumptions about the system could be totally wrong and 4D could be nonforcing, when 4S makes more sense, but that's what I'm going on.

Is there an inference here that Opener holds 6+ hearts and precisely 3 diamonds? I dont see why he can't be 6-4. 2♦ should be 5-4 5-5 or 6-4 with bad hearts etc. ♠x♥AKTxxx♦AKxx♣Ax Is a fairly cold grand. Over 4♠ partner uses my special club - Sand Wedge RKCB (5♥), since 4NT would be DI, suggesting x AKQxxx AKxx Qx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
