Bbradley62 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 It's been 30 years since I played Juniors Precision, but... I think I've shown my hand... Partner is now in charge, so I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any comments welcome If you decide to bid 6♥, then RHO dbls again P may all too easily have a 3064 or more likely 2164 hand and has beenendplayed during the bidding. P has no reason to suspect you do not have 4clubs since trying for heart game/slam is much more important than worrying aboutclubs where support can be delayed until the 5 (or in this case 6) level. It is all to easily possible the x of 6c is from just so many clubs the oppcould not bring themselves to pass (a poor decision) while we make 6n allalong when we are lucky and the heart J drops (or p has it singleton). givep something like xx J AKxxxx Q9xx and I fail to see how the bidding would beany different and 6n looking pretty darn good and 6c maybe not so much. A 6h bid here might also work well but may run the risk of a club and a ruffso all in all running to 6n seems reasonable. The world is not always a kindplace and anything you do could be really bad at this point. I have seen some players use xx here as an option to cast doubt about strain andthat might be a useful bid here except that there may be nowhere for p to run andall we would be doing is making matters worse. IMHO I hate that treatment and wouldprefer to save my slam level xx as I have pretty good trumps rather than skepticalabout our trump suit.

Zelandakh Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 What you do?Take back the 6♣ call and replace it with something sensible like 5NT perhaps? It would also not hurt to know what other options, if any, partner had on the first response with a diamond positive. Presmably with some minimum rubbish like ♠xx ♥x ♦KQJxxx ♣QJxx partner would have bid 3♠ over 3♥ so we can be confident that there is a decent hand over there.

Fluffy Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Why did I want to play on a moysan fit at the 6 level?, I'd rather play in the 6-1, now we are guessing. I think 6NT is our best strain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
