hrothgar Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Wow!! What a hand! One of the things that I have learned over the years is that there is not necessarily and one "right" bid with freaks like this one. I can see arguements for a wide number of bids however, my two top choices are 2C and 4NT.In this case, given the vulnerability, a psyche isn't that appealing. Mark me down for 2C. I plan on reversing into Diamonds at my next opportunity.There are simply too many hands that make slam for me to bid an immediate 4NT.

Codo Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Hi all, I agree with Richard that there are too many hands where there is slam.So I bid 4 NT and raise pds choice...Of course, this is just a guess. Maybe there is not even a game at either direction ore maybe we are all cold for a grand slam.But anyway, I have not much majors, so maybe they have them. So I better raise the bidding very very quick, which makes it much harder for them to find their best spot. Kind Regards Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishovnbg Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I agree with Richard, my bid is 2CL too, but my rebid will be different. I will rebid my CL 1 level more than opps. I will not show my DI, unless my p bid. But it is a psyche too Richard :). Misho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Start with 2C. Who knows what then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Strike early and often with this beast of a hand....4NT happily. If partner's decent I expect to here 5S from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 I think I'd bid an unusual 5NT !After all if I do that every time I get a 7-6 hand It can't be that bad..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted August 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 As many have said there is no cast-iron guarantee action with this type of hand. The full deal, and bidding in our room, was: IMPS; Board 9; EW Game; Dealer North North KJ87542 AKJ3 8 8 West EastT96 -T9765 -QT2 KJ9763K4 AQJT975 South AQ3 Q842 A54 632 West North East South 1S 3C 4CPass 4NT Pass 5SPass 6S All Pass East should have done more and lost 13 IMPs for his actions. I suggest that 2C bidders will next be bidding over Blackwood (1S-2C-3C-P-4NT) and N-S are going to bid to 6S forcing the 7C sacrifice - given that most of us are able to show two aces over most Blackwood interfence. The 4NT bidders give South a problem. If South doubles West could bid 6C and there is a chance that you will play there. So, on this occasion, I suggest that 4/5NT works better. Now to wait for the next 7-6 hand :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
