Hilver Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Pairs / all white You hold:♠ --♥ K Q x x x x x ♦ K Q x x x x♣ -- The bidding:1♣ - (4♠) - ? 1♣: Big club; balanced 21+ HP or more or less unbalanced and 16+ HP; not a balanced 16-20 HP with a 5-card major. Well, your bid :unsure: Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 4N should be 2 places to play here, if partner bids 5♣ I pull to 6♦, couyld be horribly wrong but I'm guessing here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelicityR Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 4N should be 2 places to play here, if partner bids 5♣ I pull to 6♦, couyld be horribly wrong but I'm guessing here. I think you are horribly right. Trying to introduce the spade void by bidding 5♠ immediately then correcting 6♣ to 6♦; or bidding 4NT, 5♣ by partner then 5♠ could be horribly misinterpreted. There's not enough room to investigate a grand slam. I'll be content with a small one, if it exists. Partner could have a hand such as ♠AQ ♥x ♦xx ♣AKQJxxxx: now that would be extremely unlucky :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I echo the 4n bid as showing 2 places to play. Over 5c I will bid 5s (which is the same bid I would make if perchance they happen to bid 5d or 5h) in the hopes that p will realize my 2 suiter is the reds and I really want to bid 7 when I correct their 6c bid to 6d. This is based on the assumption that a direct 5s bid would show grand slam interest with a single suited hand. If this was a standard opening bid vs a strong club I would be much more content to merely get to the best strain at the 5 level and would merely correct a 5c bid to 5d.

Subtle nuance, but I would be more inclined to bid it your way if I had the 2 jacks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
