Phil Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I think 5♥ is pretty clear. We need the ♣K + ♠A for 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masse24 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 5♥ If partner can show the ♠A I'll try 7m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 5♥ is best to me here with this monster hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Maybe a dumb question but what is 4NT? That may influence my action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Grand slam was cold. I was mostly curious how to get there. 5♥ would have done the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 I would bid 5 ♥ which shows the ♥ control and forces us to slam. Partner took a free bid over 4 ♥, so should have values. By showing the control, I'm implying holding a huge hand. It's one of those momentum auctions -- if you have enough to take a free bid, I have enough to force to slam. Also, it may crucial for partner to know about the ♥ control for any further action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
