doria_55 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Folks, I would like your opinion on this bidding which took place in my tournament yesterday. Does it seem technically correct to bid 7 nt without two KING? And, once achieved a wrong bidding, declarer seems so lucky to guess position of missing K...

apollo1201 Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 The 1D opening followed by 2NT is probably an underbid. The hand is worth much more than a 18-19 bal. If we are to hide the 7-bagger, then at least let’s open 2NT. Otherwise, I am not sure if the hand qualifies for a 2C opening for you (strong 2 in a minor) or a multi 2D if you play it. The rest of the bidding is not really sensible. Knowing 18-19 bal opposite, W, despite having a nice hand, has insufficient combined material for a slam and should just bid 3NT. East is probably trying to recover from his earlier bidding and takes a (very) wild shot at 7NT when all they could be facing is sth like Qxxx Axxxx x Jxx. I guess I’d reach 6NT with my partner. Of course, had I known there was no DK in the pack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
