Cyberyeti Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Encountered this hand last night, not sure how it should be bid, but the play is interesting too, would your play differ if you were in 4/5/6♥ and would it matter IMPs/MPs ? [hv=pc=n&s=sa2ha8732dak873ca&n=sjt85hk94d5ckt986]133|200[/hv] South deals at game all, was in fact MPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamford Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I would bid 1H-1S-3D-3H-4D and now I think I sign off with 4H on the North hand. 1H-1S-3D-3H-3S-4C-4D-4H is also possible, and probably better. I would win a probable black suit lead and play ace of diamonds and ruff a diamond, cash king of hearts, cross to the other black ace and ruff a diamond, pitch a spade on the king of clubs, ruff a spade back to hand, cash the ace of hearts and continue diamonds. To make six, it seems I need hearts 3-2 and diamonds 4-3 and no uppercut or winning overruff in spades, which is around 40% (42% less a bit for the uppercut, overruff or club ruff).

Cyberyeti Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Lead I got in 6 (I showed a huge hand 5-5 in the reds via an artificial 1♥-1♠-2N rebid and partner moved over 4♦) was a small trump. The play in 6 is reasonably simple, you just need the reds to break and the blacks not to be completely horrible. Play is more interesting in 4 or 5.

akwoo Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 In a 5 card major context, it might go 1H-2H-3D-3H-3S-4C-4D-4H, playing 3D as a game try showing a second suit (turning into a slam try showing a second suit). With help suit game tries, you might get 1H-2H-3D-4H-4N-5C(1430)-5D-5H-6H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 1H - 2H - 2S (relay) - 3D (singleton) - 4H Responder can't really have enough - the best slam can be is hearts 3-2 and diamonds 4-3 At matchpoints you play 4H or 5H exactly the same way as 6H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd possible 2♣-2♦, 2♥.. but after that heart fit is found an eventual cue bid searchin could not clear K of heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds were 5-2 with the third one being overruffed by the doubleton, so 6♥-2. The line for 11 tricks as the cards lie is to play ♠Ax, LHO has Hxx, but if you're in 5, I can't see a way of combining chances on a trump lead (although you possibly can on a minor suit lead) and would only consider it at teams.

Cyberyeti Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 not always. i've played plenty of 4cM and i raise. I got fed up playing in 2♥ in a 4-3 fit rather than 2♠ in a 4-4 opposite a 4432 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
