LH2650 Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 As responder, you hold the given hand in an uncontested 2/1 GF auction: [hv=d=n&v=n&s=sqxhaqxxdxxxckjxx]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv] 1S – 2C3C – 3H4N - ? If you decide to make a Blackwood response, use standard RKC: 0/3, 1/4, 2 w/o Q, 2 w Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearmum Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 As responder, you hold the given hand in an uncontested 2/1 GF auction: Dealer: North Vul: None Scoring: MP ♠ Qx ♥ AQxx ♦ xxx ♣ KJxx 1S – 2C3C – 3H4N - ? If you decide to make a Blackwood response, use standard RKC: 0/3, 1/4, 2 w/o Q, 2 w Q.I would probably have bid 1NT (forcing ) over 1♠ -- but that's not what the poll is :) After the bidding above I will bid 5♥ (RKC resopnse for ♣ as I can't see it being anything else ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartA Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 i can't see what 4nt would be except rkc for clubs... guess i'll bid 5♥ ditto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 sorry mate, but really don't see a problem here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotShot Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 A new suit after a fit is found should show controll in that suit. So i can't see what partners 4N can be other than RKCB so it's 5♥ to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 I also don't see a problem here. The only problem might be if you play minorwood, so 4♣ would be RKC ♣, and then 4NT should have another meaning. But since you didn't mention the minorwood possibility, I guess this is no problem and asks keycards for ♣. So just bid 5♥... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Pard is not agreeing hearts as trump with 4N. I'd start with 1N too, although 2N is an option for me, showing this type of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LH2650 Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Food for thought - Why didn't North Blackwood directly over 2 clubs?What did North learn from 3 hearts, which might be an attempt to get to 3N - secondary cards and not even a real suit?Presumably North had a plan. What would he have done over 3N? For this problem, a direct 2N would have been Jacoby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Abstain,2♣ is quite a horrible bid, and now if 4NT is not RKCB then I don't want to know what it was, I'm not interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civill Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Now using RKC,if the trump suit were undefined,how to continue bidding?So,4NT must be RKC for ♣.then the answer is 5♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
