MrAce Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 First I would treat N hand as 1 suiter after NT opening and start 4♦ if it is IMPs. Rest of it depends on agreements but I don't think finding slam is difficult after that. Missing grandslam or ending up in non making grandslam due to misguess is possible. At MP, I would start with 4♠ showing 2 suiter and try to land in hearts if we have a fit. I am sure good pdships in forums have better agreements, but these 2 would be my general approach w/o agreements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Punting 6♦ is not unreasonable on the North hand. After the 3♠ bid, it is less likely that partner has significant values in spades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 How do you propose the N/S hands be bid?4♣ = diamonds; 4♦ = hearts; 4♥ = hearts + minor; 4♠ = clubs seems like a good starting point, although I think the more common agreement here is "switch".

whereagles Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 There is no scientific way to bid this. So try a practical 6♦ (or 5NT pick-a-slam if you prefer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the more commom agreement here is "natural"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I start with 4S to show a big 2 suiter. I will not treat a 7-5 as a 1 suiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 And to answer the subtitle, "How do we defend?"... We don't. Think I will join the 6♦ bashers; and I hate bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I play Leaping Michaels in this case, with adjusted strength. So I have an easy 4♦ call to start with, showing a GF hand with 5+♥ and 5+♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
