- Is 3x - (pass) - 3y forcing or non-forcing
- It’s not that simple, John. For one thing, how does opener know whether responder’s suit is Axxxxx or KQJ10xxx ?
- Hank Youngerman's bidding problem: K AQx KQ9xx A8xx
- “...if he doesn’t have five hearts, we don’t want to play in hearts.” In what strain would we rather play holding, eg., xxx KJxx AJ Qxxx ?
- ATB - we pushed them to slam. Again.
- hehe
- ATB - we pushed them to slam. Again.
- (Good point, Ken.)
- Mikael Rimstedt's lead problem: AJ863 KJ98 --- Q842
- That’s what I’m voting for.
- Mikael Rimstedt's lead problem: AJ863 KJ98 --- Q842
- Why did E cue-bid rather than jump directly to 3NT? The X rules out mild SI, so perhaps E has four hearts. Lacking the diamond partner was hoping I had to lead, I doubt that an initial spade trick could be their ninth.
- Mikael Rimstedt's lead problem: AJ863 KJ98 --- Q842
- Except when both defenders have shown a long suit, I don’t subscribe to the lead-your-suit doctrine of doubling nt contracts. Not only will partner normally lead his/her long suit, why confirm the opps’ fear that 3NT is on shaky ground and removing is wise?
- Alan Shillitoe's bidding problem: 6 AKJ76 AKQJ4 95
- “Too late” indeed...thanks to the so-called “successful” 3S splinter. If instead diamonds had been bid twice in a row, after RKB + Q-ask in H’s pd would treat 6D as an offer to play rather than an enquiry about the dK.
- Is 3x - (pass) - 3y forcing or non-forcing
- No problem, Rob...just please don’t give up growling & barking.
- ATB - we pushed them to slam. Again.
- Well, 5 respondents have voted for passing the W hand, and who knows how many were dissuaded therefrom? (Nonetheless, your point is taken.)
