bridgeboy Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 All Vul, Matchpointsyou hold: xKJ93xAKT7653 LHO opens 4S, partner doubles (Optional) , passed to you. Your bid? Will it differ if it's imps? (You do not have a agreement on what 4NT is here. So logic rules if you choose to bid it :unsure: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I'll take it that "optional" means some kind of strong NT hand. Such hand has 4 cover cards, so 6C should make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 With less confidence than whereagles I bid 6♣. It is not impossible we are off an ace and a club trick. But, it is only matchpoints after all. In deciding to bid 6♣ an understanding of who the vulnerable 4♠ bidder is might play into the decision process. The more sound a bidder (solid suit) he is, the more confident I am in 6♣. The wilder he is (broken yucky suit), the less confident and more likely I would take the money.

Guest Jlall Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 agree 100 % with phil. I dont see any other bidd as even fathomable than 6C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 6♣ also, but I ahve my sympathies at MP for 5NT (showing 2 places to play). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 6♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 5C. They got you. This would be easier playing IMP's, but playing pairs going plus and getting 600 will be better than going minus and / orgetting only 500. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbec Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I bid what i think to make... so 6C. Alberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikestar Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 6C. I have no sympathy for 5H or 5N pick a slam. Partner doesn't guarantee 4 hearts and even if he has them, a 4-1 or 5-0 split is quite likely on the bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 6C for me too. Only alternative that came to mind was 5C, but I like my chances for 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
