You dont have any special tools, only common sense.Preferably if you post a plan on how to bid a slam vs any suit partner can have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I will start with double, no problem yet :) I may not get to slam at MP> Better hope you get past 3♠x if partner has say AK10x, x, xxx, J109xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Agree with the doublers. Even if you play non-leaping Michaels, this hand really isn't "big" enough to do it. That leaves an imperfect Double, which truly might be left in. Oh, well. Sometimes you don't have the perfect action for partner's perfect magic hand.

Lord Molyb Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 [hv=pc=n&w=sha8743da98cakq87&d=e&v=b&b=10&a=p3s]133|200[/hv] Playing matchpoints you have to choose how to bid in the following situation.

Preferably if you post a plan on how to bid a slam vs any suit partner can have.IMO, X = 10, 4♣ (natural) = 7, 4♥ = 3 Better hope you get past 3♠x if partner has say AK10x, x, xxx, J109xxA club bid, assuming no leaping michaels, deserves to find partner with ♠Axxxx ♥KQxx ♦xxx ♣x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Molyb Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 whoops, double posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Better hope you get past 3♠x if partner has say AK10x, x, xxx, J109xxPartner will not pull the double, and we will have to settle for 800. If Partner pulls to 4C, it would not be with that hand, and even if she does, I am not going to blast slam. She won't get overjoyed with my 4S Cue, either.

Cascade Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Agree with the doublers. Even if you play non-leaping Michaels, this hand really isn't "big" enough to do it. That leaves an imperfect Double, which truly might be left in. Oh, well. Sometimes you don't have the perfect action for partner's perfect magic hand. Looks a normal non minimum for non leaping Michaels to me. After all double essentially forces to game if partner doesn't pass so might as well make a more descriptive bid. Nevertheless double has some advantages - keeping diamonds in the picture, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 double and if partner bids hearts I like my chances in 6♥ opposite a 4333 yarborough, so I will investigate grand slam. Non leaping michaels on the other side helps you little towards slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I tend to take a rosier view than most people to this type of hand, and sometimes I come unstuck. I'd probably bid 4♠ (which will always include hearts, but the precise hand type is unknown), so on Lord Molyb's example I'll get a 6♥ response.
