nige1 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 [hv=pc=n&n=sk9hakj6532d5ckj4&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=2d2s5d]133|200|Love All, Matchpoints. 2♦ is a natural weak two.[/hv] I rank JAllerton's suggestions. Double. "Had we but world enough and time", we might find a better contract but given our predicament, this is a fair compromise..5N. 2 places to play. Bidding 6♥ over 6m (as Brose suggests)6♦ Cue. OK if partner can understand it as suggesting a major slam.6♥ Should have some play. Reasonable gamble at match-points.6♠ At least a 7-card fit..5♥ Likely to be fairly safe. Some regard it as a slam try,5♠ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_20686 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 This kinda problem is too hard for me. I would do what broze suggested if I was 100% sure that it would be understood that way...but I am not. I just haven't discussed this sequence with any partners. Think I would just bang down 6h and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I would do what broze suggested if I was 100% sure that it would be understood that way...If we only want to provide a choice between the majors then 5NT followed by 4♥ seems to be at least as good as the suggested sequence... :blink: :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajfonty Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 I can't imagine very many scenarios where 6♦ doesn't show at least a very nice five ♥s, and two ♠s, asking partner to pick a major suit. My only fear is that we're missing two too many queens. 5NT, intending to pull 6♣ to 6♥ probably achieves the same purpose. I'd imagine partner has at least ♠A, ♠Q, and ♣A. Five ♠s, two ♥s, two ♦s, four ♣s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
