MrAce Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Easy pass. Even if pd has a side ace, which may not be the case at all, and you are in danger at 5 level, and even if he does we are not home yet. He is probably short in spades. You can give AK ♣ if pd has ♦A, you can give 2 diamonds if he has ♣ A, or even if you do not have 2 quick losers probably we still will have to do some work with spades. Of course slam can make but I believe pass is by far the best action if your preempts are not JEC or Roth/Stone preempts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billw55 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Pass. I don't see partner with more than one card outside. Many hands with an ace would open 1♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awm Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'd bid. With so many hearts its likely partner has seven rather than eight, for which he'd need an outside card (or really extreme shape). This card could be club king (in which case we need some luck to make five) but more likely its an ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesleyC Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Trying for slam is crazy. Even if partner does have a side ace and a maximum, slam might still be cold off. I'm also pretty excited about the prospect of defending 4Sx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 partner bids 4H in second seat w/w AKJxx ATxx Kx Qx Now what? Playing my normal methods, I have 5♣ available as a CAB.If I have this toy available, I will use it. Otherwise, I am going to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hi, first it comes down to style and how well you have defined a preempt. We promise in this position and with this vul. 6 loosers (LTC) or better, better is possible,you dont preempt beyond game, we prefer also to have our values in the long suit. Give him KQJxxxx, than he needs 1 out side control to get to the req. LTC number, and it has quite likely to be a Ace or a King, if he has 8 hearts, he needs nothing. On the other hand, I have 4-5 cards to cover partners looser, so I am passing. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Slam prospects are exceedingly poor and there is no reasonable way to determine if opener has the right hand for slam. Once that decision is made we can start hoping lho has read all of the expert articles concerning the automatic acceptance of the "transfer" to 4s:))))) but try and keep the drool to a minimum.

kuhchung Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Partner's hand is ridiculous but I was still wondering what you guys would do. Thanks. Related: How do you show 2 kc + Q + 2 voids over blackwood? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
