If the latter, how do you plan to get that information from p? 2SPADES Let's see if partner can show a partial spade stopper so we can bid 5clubs. let's give partnerQXXXXXXXXKQXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 3D, splinter. I see no need for a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytoox Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I like 3D. 2D shows a strong balanced hand, 3D should be splinter. And pd will know what to do. If he bids 3N, I think I will pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 3♦ seems fine to me (although it has the problem of allowing LHO a cheap double). If there's a chance this particular pard won't understand 3♦, then I'll try a shot at 5♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I also like 3D. Or possibly 4D, showing a void and slam ambition (after all, xx xxx xxxx Kxxx makes slam a just about OK contract). I don't like 2S which I think should possibly be natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted July 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I dropped the ball a bit on this one and made the uninspired call of 2♦ later blasting 5♣ which made on the nose, although an overtrick was there for the taking. Partner held: ♠ ---♥ 10xx♦ KJxxxx♣ Q10xx Why he made a free bid of 2♣ I'm not sure. RHO did compete to 3♠, but my 5♣ ended the auction.

MickyB Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I don't like 2S which I think should possibly be natural. Welcome back Frances. Yup, 2♠ on this sequence sounds natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 3d... 2s sounds to me like "i doubled and lefty psyched" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
