hallway Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Tding a 7 table tourney the following board was played in 7 different contracts I asked around and received 2 replies and now I have 9 different contracts <_< Sorry been a long time since I had time to post on here and I cant find the hand insert form I'm sure you can figure it out though ( looked perfect in the draft !) North ♠ - ---- ♥- AKJ652 ♦ - 10 8 7 ♣ - Q854 West East♠ - Q1098753 ♠- KJ62 ♥- 10943 ♥ - Q87♦ - 6 2 ♦ - A3 ♣ - 3 ♣ - A1076 South ♠ - A74 ♥ - --- ♦- KQJ954 ♣- KJ92 What would be the optimum contract and why ? Two contracts made =, 1 made + 2. South was declarer at 4 tables , North at 2 tables and West at 1 table. N/S Not Vul :: E/W Vul East Opened 1C at all tables I have promised to get them the good oil - must be a consensus somewhere ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardVector Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Are you looking for optimum, or realistic? Optimum, is 3s by east. It plays 1 trick worse by west. 4d by NS is indestructible, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akwoo Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I would expect the bidding to go 1C - 1D - 2S - 3H4S - AP which is down 2 for -200. If E/W aren't playing weak jump shifts (in competition), then N/S have some chance of finding 5D, but it's pretty hard. The weak-NTers might get to 4S by East, which is only down 1.

TylerE Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 5♦ is a maker, actually. W shows out on the 2nd club so you are 100% to come back and hook the 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Badger Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I will assume a 10 card ♠ fit for E/W as it is over four times more likely than an 11 card fit.

Cyberyeti Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Well 5 of a minor is a very reasonable contract NS, 5♦ getting beaten by the club ruff, 5♣ is tricky to bid after the 1♣ opener, but might make although it seems in trouble if EW just keep playing spades. I'm not totally familiar with how you bid this starting 1♣ as I would open a weak NT I'm not clear if over 1♣-(1♦) W bids 2♠ or passes and if he passes whether E passes or doubles over 1♥ from N. It's possible NS could get a totally free run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekthen Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Optimum contract is 5♣. I think this makes double dummy, while 5♦ is unlucky.What happens at the table is something else entirely. I foresee everything from 3♠ = to 5♠x -2 NS and 3♦ +2 to 5♥ -x EW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'm not clear if over 1♣-(1♦) W bids 2♠ or passes and if he passes whether E passes or doubles over 1♥ from N. It's possible NS could get a totally free run. Not around here. Almost everyone plays WJS also in competition, so W bids 2♠ without hesitation.

janhamhurg Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 1♣ 1♦ 2♠ 3♥ 4♠ x would me my bidding with the 2♠ bid based on 6 cards being an absolute minimum.i would x the final contract with all my defensiv tricks as South with a partner who shows about 10 points. Partner should sit, since AK♥ are very good values vs 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Badger Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I think the final contract all depends on what system E/W are playing. If E/W are playing weak jump responses then they will arrive in a ♠ contract; if not, then N/S will arrive in a ♦ contract. That about sums up this board. If West doesn't mention the ♠s, then on values N/S should arrive in a 5♦ contract (as Cyberyeti rightly says) unfortunately going down on the ♣ ruff.

P_Marlowe Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi, even playing WJS: I would not make the WJS as West, we are Red vs. Green, I have shortage inpartners suit.At this colors, a WJS should show something constructive.Bidding a WJS or a NFB with this kind of hand is one of the main reasons, WJS / NFB have such abad reputation. With kind regardsMarlowe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
