Perhaps it would not have bid 2H with AKxxxx and a void though, I don't know. But it does make me ask if gib should be bidding 5NT with no key cards.

ahydra Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 LOL @ West for not doubling it. Or did he not trust himself to lead the ace-king if NS run to 7NT? :) ahydra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovera Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Here it is why i.e. needs not jumping (as i have told in RKCB0314) in 5NT (but here we can make a few as a problem of programming related with CC/system adopted): 5♣(=RKB0314) or 5♦ in the other case, clear you stopping in 5♥. In the other eventualites when you can get up it is possibile indication of void quering for Q (5NT=void+Q).(Lovera) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iandayre Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Easy solution here. You have all the sides suits locked up, and you are missing the AK of H. So bid 5NT instead of 4NT. True, in this case you only improve down 2 to down 1, but you make if partner has one of them, or if they split 1-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I bid 4NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 So, I guess you're supposed to bid 3♣ and hear partner make a minimal response, then make another similar move and hear partner signoff again in order to determine that slam is not possible? Ick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ick.Getting GIB to continue with an appropriate hand is next to impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
