manudude03 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Sorry, on tablet here. You hold KJ7643 6 QJ765 3 MPs scoring, unfavourable and the auction goes 1H-X-5H to you 1H was limited to 11-15, 5H was preemptive. What's your call?

helene_t Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 5♠ enough for me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 not bidding 55!s seems a tad cowardly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 With zero first round controls and an opponent opening the bidding, I can't justify bidding 6, so 5♠ it is. If we miss it, that's life, preempts work. Passing is not in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I agree with 5♠ and kudos to the 5♥ bidder where many would waste time with a 4♥ bid. If he got me, he deserves to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I bid 5♠ and with no first rd controls I wonder just who is sacrificing. PD with a control oriented good hand can carry on to 6 himself if he wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 With 0 first round controls, 5S is enough for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 5 ♠ for me also. There's just no way to know what's making. So you just bid your most likely make which is 5 ♠. You certainly have enough distribution for that to be a good spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I guess 5H wasn't enough of a pre-empt for this forum :). The opp who had this passed. Most tables were in 5H making. [hv=pc=n&s=shqt743d7cqjt9752&w=skj9742h6dqj654c3&n=st85hak9852dk8ca6&e=saq63hjdat932ck84&d=n&v=e&b=9&a=1hd5hppp]399|300[/hv] If the pips have moved, I was guessing them both here and in the OP. However in essence, both 5H and 5S were making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
