lycier Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Today I play against Gibs,I am south.[hv=pc=n&s=sqt872hqt2dj9cq42&w=sakj95h763d7cak97&n=s43ha9d865cjt8653&e=s6hkj854dakqt432c&d=e&v=n&b=2&a=1dp1sp2hp2sp3hp4np5np6hppp]400|300[/hv] E-W are a pair of basic Gibs, it seems there is no problem for Gib bidding,so if you think basic Gibs bidding are not good, now you would try to get hopeful 6♦. I have no way to reach 6♦ reasonably because it is very difficult to show weaker 5-card ♥ strength and extra ♦ length at the same time.

oryctolagi Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I take it, East is reversing here, but with only 13 HCP and a poor heart suit, is it appropriate to reverse, even with a 7-5-1-0 distribution? Clearly 6♥ is unmakeable, and I don't follow East's 3♥ at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think a reverse is appropriate but with this suit quality disparity, a 3♦ rebid is better than 3♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 It's not a great slam, needs the diamonds to come in and a finesse. A lot of the time if partner has 3♥/1♦, 6♦ will still be the better slam even if partner has a heart honour, so as soon as partner shows 5♠/4♣ and not 4♥ you need to head for diamonds. 1♠-2♦(not GF for us, but doesn't too much matter)3♣-3♦3♥-4♦(for us this carries a very strong inference of a side heart suit given that we haven't used the SJS with a suit that's clearly up for it)4♠-4N5♥-6♦ Would get you there, but as I said, not sure you want to be there, would look better if opener's hearts were Qxx.

oryctolagi Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 would look better if opener's hearts were Qxx.I think dealer was East - and he would certainly have opened. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think dealer was East - and he would certainly have opened. :lol: Dang it scrolled the 1♦ off the top of the auction as it displayed it to me so looked like W opened. 1♦-1♠2♥-3♣3♥- and we're not getting back to diamonds, prob play 5♥.
