How do you think the auction should go from here. By agreement, the negative double always shows a 2-way hand: either both unbids, the major and willing to rebid NT, or the major and support for the opened suit. West bids 5D at his next opportunity.[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 N E S W1♣ 1♠ X P2♥ 4♦ ? How do you think the auction should go from here. How about:4♥ by South, 5♦ from West, 5♥ by North. Yes North has extras, but I don't think he can jump to slam (and pass wouldn't be forcing). Whether East will pass this -- I don't know. Btw, I don't think this is a light opening.

PMetsch Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 If south shows at least 4♥ by his DBL, then north should bid at least 3♥. I don't know how to get to slam, but on the other hand it is 1 down after a diamond lead and west ducking the first club from the dummy (unless you finesse the ♣T).

PMetsch Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 You are right about 6♣, I was thinking of 6♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 2H is god awful. and no you will not reach 6C when you find a 5-4 major suit fit and are facing heavy competitive bidding and have 20 HCP. Sometimes in bridge you cannot find the perfect contract. 5H would be a very good score I bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 5♥ is unplayable as they sure will defend in 5♠ or 6♦, will they defend 6♥? probably yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POJC Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Would bid 3H any day. That hand is ok opener and becomes great after DBL.I agree with justin that gamescore would be good enough. Would never find 6C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
