Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Whats your plan - making 4S
- Quick drop in from work so might have missed something simple: Think I would cash the K♠ and play a spade to the Ace. Guarantees on any 3-2. I also catch stiff Q in either hand and can trump coup North if they have 3+♥. What all the ...

- Mikael Rimstedt's bidding problem: A A8 KQ8754 AJ87
- Bit surprised by the poll results thus far. I knew my action would be considered off-centre but thought the "flexible" DBL would have a bigger proportion. People are obviously more rigid about ♥ length.
- How much credence?
- @Michael R: As per my post below, you can still make when 2-2 by playing a club at T5. Doesn’t mean that the ♣ has to be the K♣, no?
- How much credence?
- At work so on;y had 5minutes to glance at it. I think I would have crossed to the T♣ at T5 and played my top two diamonds. In the position I am in now, I would play a ♣.
- A Cool Hand fron the Gold Coast
- Also worth discussing what: 1♣-(2NT)-4♣ 1♣-(2NT)-4♦ 1♣-(2NT)-4♠ Mean in your partnership.
- A Cool Hand fron the Gold Coast
- Hi Norman, I assume you played for ♦ to be something like Hxx<>Hxxxx. Throw a club on the A♠, ruff the last last spade and play a diamond up. LHO is caught between a rock and a hard place. Weirdly the bit of this play I find nice ...
- Gonzalo Goded's bidding problem: J652 9752 QT QT5
- Somewhat depends on what 2♦ over 2♣ and 3♦ over 3♣ mean. Also depends on what the worst shapely hand you would open your presumably strong ♣ with. e.g xx, AQxxxx, -, AKQxx is this a 1♣ or 1♥ for you guys. Failing all ...
- Gonzalo Goded's bidding problem: J652 9752 QT QT5
- Slows the auction down. This hand is marginal but I don't mind it with quacky values. I played against a top international who went so far as to bid this with Jxx,Qxx,Kxxxxx, x (we both agreed afterwards this was too good).
- Defense against short club and transfer responses
- XX = 4♠ with better ♣ than ♦ 1♥ = 4♠ with better ♦ than ♣ Other bids: Treat like 1♦-(1♥)
