Fluffy Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 4 spade and double (asuuming you mean AKQ), on the second I would pass 2NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 4♠ on the first one.On the second one, 4♦ is tempting, but I think 3♦ is enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 As a typical lazy student, I checked the hand records instead of answering. Partner actually opened 1♣ instead of 1♦ on the second hand and we are unfavourable. I.e.: [hv=pc=n&s=s2hq962da9872ck64&d=n&v=n&b=5&a=1c1sd2spp?]300|400[/hv] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yes I opened 1♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 1st hand: easy 4♠, I think. 2nd hand: Pard rates to have 12-14 bal or some irregular min with 5+ clubs. Both dbl and 3♦ are options here, but I think dbl is better because if you bid 3♦ and find, say, a 4315 across, it's gonna be a mess. Note: 3♦ should be taken as canapé, i.e. weakish 45 reds, not some strong variant, which can be bid in other ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snillrik13 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 With AKQxxxxx in spades and a side ace I Think a take-out double stands out, If you bid a direct 4S partner has no chance to guess your hand. Don´t forget spades is the boss suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 As a nonexpert I would pass. Sounds like partner is 11-13 and 4=3=2=4perhaps a typical hand might be: Oxxx...Axx..Qx....Axxx I guess double is option2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 On the first one I would bid 4♠. On the second one I think 2NT ought to show this hand but without that agreement I would double. Partner's most likely holding is 4333 opposite which I want to pass at imps, but he could have as much as 16(17?) with five clubs and four spades.

jallerton Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 With AKQxxxxx in spades and a side ace I Think a take-out double stands out, If you bid a direct 4S partner has no chance to guess your hand. Don´t forget spades is the boss suit. On a good day partner might guess that when you jump to 4♠ at unfavourable vulnerability you hold a long spade suit with lots of playing strength. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
