mike777 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 ya, disagree with 1H, 3C criss cross, game force in D. Very often unbalanced hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Yes I would certainly bid 1H; how else can you find a H fit if it exists?I bid 5D now. Hands such as these are always difficult and I think 5D is the most practical bid. No Mike, definitely NOT 2C gf. Why? If the opponents happen to get into a high level C contract and partner doubles, he won't expect me to hold this hand. If you pull the double and its wrong you will cop the blame!Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartA Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 3D. I might bid 2D (inverted minor) at the first turn. 1H is second choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not bidding 1H but 3c so I am unsure what bidding you object too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double ! Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 5 diamonds would be off 3 aces with my luck, hand might well belong in 3NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 5 diamonds would be off 3 aces with my luck, hand might well belong in 3NT I can still get there after 3C at MP but partner is going to have to force it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 5D. My best guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 4D, if it's forcing.5D, if it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 2♣ since the contract probably belongs in 3NT. You can always bid ♦s later, but imo there's a huge chance of making game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 If I'm playing inverted minors, I would have started with that. If not, I'm going to bid 5♦ now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civill Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 2♣ since the contract probably belongs in 3NT. You can always bid ♦s later, but imo there's a huge chance of making game. 4th suit forcing,may a slam there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke warm Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 2♣ also, but is there anything wrong with 4♦ now, if it's rkc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 There is nothing wrong jimmy, but still we aren't playing bridge but match points this time :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Curious. No matter what hand pard has, if he passes a 1NT rebid by you, then he has a 12 count with 4S 1H 4D and 4C. Once you get in (hopefully before they cash 7 tricks) you will make your contract. If he takes another bid (likely) then you can show the nature of your hand with a big move showing D in a limited hand with 4 H cards.

beatrix45 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 :) Is this a real bridge hand? Why haven't the opponents bid? They have a minimum of eight cards in each black suit and a fair share of the high cards. I'm bidding 5♦, then excusing myself to go to the powder room.

pbleighton Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 5D. Even at matchpoints, I don't want to play 3NT with this hand (though it could be right), and slam is unlikely. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
