Deal #30


Recommended Posts

Trying this out at Frederick's request. Do we like this format better? You are South and dealer. Favorable. Imps.

 

Z-T bids as follows...

 

[hv=pc=n&s=sk7643hak7dakq9c5&w=sajhjt632dj8ca942&n=sq92hq8d63ckqjt86&e=st85h954dt7542c73&d=s&v=e&b=3&a=1c(16+)p2d(5+C)p2h(asks)p3d(1-suited%2C%20bal)p3nppp]399|300[/hv]

Oh yeah...much better format.

 

TOSR with QPs:

 

1 - 2 (16+; GF 5+ )

2 - 3 (relay; 3226 or 7222)

3 - 3 (relay; 3226)

3 - 3N (QP ask; 5-7 QPs)

4 - 4 (second QP ask; 5 QPs)

4

 

Note that over 3, South had the option of bidding 4...4..4 to show a natural slam try in (responder would bid RKC responses if accepting).

There are several different ways this auction could go in IMPrecision, which is why I've been somewhat hesitant to reply to this one. One possibility:

 

1 (16+) - 2nt (GF 6 clubs semi-balanced)

3 (short clubs) - 4 (3226, 2QP excluding KQ)

4

 

Another:

 

1 (16+) - 1 (various)

1 (4+, F1) - 1nt (GF relay)

2 ( or bal) - 2 (relay)

3 (5341) - sign off...

 

Responder knows he has a terrible hand given opener's shape, and will sign off in his choice of 3nt or 4. Not clear what he will choose; 3nt needs one trick less and has the advantage of keeping the unknown hand as declarer so maybe would pick that.

Pass 2000

 

Pass-1; [0-7 or 17+; 0-7 or 17+, in this case because we require two controls for a 8+ response]

1-1NT; [17--19 unbal with 4+ spades; asking]

2-2; [5+ spades; asking]

3-3; [natural, natural and forcing]

4-4; [cue bid, could bid 3NT non-serious]

 

Dubbelklubba (Swedish Club)

1-1NT; [11--13 bal or 17+; 5+ clubs, 8+ hcp]

2-3; [strong; natural]

Modified SCAMP

 

1-3 . . . strong; 3-2-2-6 or 2-2-2-7

3-3 . . . relay; 3-2-2-6

4-4 . . . suit quality slam try; any min [5-6QP] or better than min [7-8QP] with <Hx in H, denies 9+QP

4 . . . NF, teller accepts with better than min and 2+/top4 in S

 

No perfect methods here: we don't have a way for teller to show a semi-solid C suit and better than min so are limited to looking for a S slam or one based on power. Nor can we find out if teller has QJx xx xx AKxxxx which would be a good slam. But our 4 slam try does allow us to make sure the S suit is strong enough to play for one likely loser if we reach slam yet stop in game if it's not.

  • 2 weeks later...

1 = 15-17 nat/bal or 18+ any

... - 1 = GF with no 4 card major

1NT = relay, usually 18+

... - 2 = club one-suiter

2 = relay

... - 2NT = 3 spades, <3 hearts, 6-7 clubs

 

is a given. Now South has options - but the safe way is probably to continue relays:

 

3 = relay

... - 3 = 3226

3 = relay

... - 3NT = min

4 = relay

... - 4 = 0-1 controls

4
