Cyberyeti Posted September 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 a running minor W/O THE JACK ? AS FAR AS I KNOW a runing minor is AKQJ xxx and pray partner have some cards T 987 32 can be Held by 1 oponet on you have 5 trick in suit !!!! The theory is that AKQxxxx is odds on for 7 tricks opposite a small singleton, so many people consider it sufficient. If you require the J it becomes so infrequent you might want to find another use for the bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted September 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 possibly my favourite hand of all time involved a gambling 3N opening, partner opened 3N and I had something like AKxx Axx - AKQxxx, and we had had no discussion on followups so I made the practical bid of 7D, which fortunately made. A flat board when the other table had a much more intricate relay auction to the same spot! An unusual situation to say the least where my first bid in an auction was grand in an unbid suit where I was void :) My favourite G3N story is not totally relevant to this thread, because it was when a partner of mine who I didn't think was capable of the feat psyched it. The guy on lead did what you're supposed to do, cashed his ace and seeing my xx, played another. Partner at this point cashed the rest of his KQxxxxx and went for -100 or 150 against a cold game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
