akwoo Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Q974KQJT7532K love all, pass 1S to you ...your bid 4D. Might change my mind if you told me something about the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 4D looks like a transfer to 4S too often for me to feel happy about it, but 5D feels like a transfer to -500 against 450/480 too often for me to be happy that way either. Besides, that club king may be useful on defence. In the old, old days, I’d bid 1N, though I’d prefer favourable vul. If doubled, I run to clubs first😀 These days I bid 4D, because I’m old.

LBengtsson Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Solid 8 card suit and a couple of stiff honors, with an opp. that has opened, it is 4♦ from me also. Let partner decide whether he wants to bid 5♦ if they bid 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyams Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 2♦ Plan to bid more diamonds in later rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKok Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 5♦, though I have a sneaking suspicion that 4♦ is better. I've probably played too much IMPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas43 Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Also 5♦. Might cost too much, but I want to leave them to make the last guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL78 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 4♦. With only seven guarenteed tricks 5♦ looks a tad overaggressive. If it were favourable vuln I'd bid 5♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles123 Posted July 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 I bid 5, went 3 off doubled for a 10% board. A bit unlucky with a somewhat unexpected heart ruff in the non-opening hand (opener was 5521 or something). In hindsight I think 4 is better, yes it's something of a transfer to 4S as Mike says, but partner is still there and can sac in 5D if they deem it correct.
