Fluffy Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 You play with an ok player, but who thinks he is better than he is. ♠93♥AQ42♦KJ73♣AQ4 Dealer west, IMPS, nobody vulnerable. W - N - E - Sps -1♣ -ps -1♥3♠ -4♦*-ps -4NTps -5♦*-ps -?? 4♦*: partner cannot have 4♦-5♣ nor 5♦-6♣ since only exceptions to a 1♦ opening with those holdings require a very good ♣ suit. 5♦*: it is either 3 or 0!.

whereagles Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 I'm gonna pass. Expecting pard to have xx--AQxxxKJxxxx and has evaded the "system". Of course, he can also have xxAQxxxKJxxxx but I'm not going to guess that at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cf_John0 Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 4♦ is a cue bid in support of Hearts Possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebound Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Makes perfect sense to me. If you have a specific K ask for the club suit you're all set, although I confess I'd be in 7♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 4♦ is a cue bid in support of Hearts Possible! Possible? Yes. But it's also clear as mud. It's the kind of bid that, if done in a new partnership, is prone to major misunderstandings. I would never do it :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Pard will also bid on with the 3 key cards over 5♥. Would I be making a slam try with zero keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civill Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 4♦ is a cue bid in support of Hearts Possible! Possible? Yes. But it's also clear as mud. It's the kind of bid that, if done in a new partnership, is prone to major misunderstandings. I would never do it :P If 4♦ is natural suit,then North has not ♠ control but with about 16 HCPs;otherwise 4♠ is more reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
