hrothgar Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 You're playing Vanilla Precision in a first time partnership. TAB and CAB bids are available after a strong club opening, but alpha, beta, etc are not. The following auction occurs 1C - 1H1S - 2D2N - 3D3H - 3N4N how do you interpret 4N?

Cyberyeti Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Quantitative, W has a doubleton heart, E has 5-5 in the reds with probably 1 spade and 2 clubs, no suit is agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 As opener has no established range I know of, I rule out quantitative. An analysis of the auction shows partner to be 5224 or 5233 with 3 small diamonds. I would take this as a slam try in diamonds with a question about the quality of the suit.

dake50 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 1C - 1H1S - 2D2N - 3D3H - 3N4N how do you interpret 4N? *** What would 4C,4D,4H,4S have meant? I assume those cases are out.Of course in a new (lightly discussed) partnership, don't throw a nuanced 4-level bid into this auction.I'd play it as agreeing diamonds, RKCB.

mr1303 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 If it is unclear as to which suit is trumps, 4NT is not RKBC. If opener wanted to know key cards for diamonds, he would have to bid 4D here first. That being the case, I think that opener is just showing extra values with no strong fit, i.e. quantitative.

akhare Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 You're playing Vanilla Precision in a first time partnership.

Quantitative -- opener could have clearly shown primary ♦ support with 3♦ or could have expressed belated slam interest in ♦ with 4♦. My guess is that opener is 5224 in the blacks with extra values.

Why did opener stop to introduce 2-card heart support and suggest a heart contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
