- François "Dellache"'s bidding problem: AJT6 AQT2 654 Q2
- Dbl. Just want to hear some bid in a major. And even better feeling if partner passes.
- François "Dellache"'s bidding problem: QJ753 2 x K87542
- Playing 4♣ as forcing in our system, I will try 5♣, with the obvious downside that I might be off 3 aces so it's clearly not a great bid. If 4♣ is nf (= bid 2♥ first with a slammish hand for clubs) this looks like ...
- François "Dellache"'s bidding problem: QT2 AJ742 KJT4 8
- On the actual deal colors are reversed (you are vul against not)
- François "Dellache"'s bidding problem: A K8642 QT43 AJ5
- 4nt looks fine - partner will understand that the key factor for slam is the quality of his spades. And of course he will bid 6♠ and not 6nt if he can't see a possible recovery against a bad spade break opposite the typical 15(34) pattern suggested by ...
- Marc Bonnet's lead problem: J8 AQJT5 KJ8 J32
- No clear-cut choice among really ugly leads, every lead may be the only one that blows it. My ratings : ♣2 or♠8 : 5/10. Hoping to not blow a trick and collect 4 tricks on passive defense ♦8 : 5/10. Looks more dangerous but might strike gold if partner has ...
- Marc Bonnet's bidding problem: --- 873 KJ62 AT9532
- The expectancy of 3♣ is negative at these colors. With an empty 6 card suit, I really risk going for -800 or -1100 and the potential damage to the opps bidding when they should declare does not compensate this. Simulations made by my partner tend to say that a ...
- Marc Bonnet's bidding problem: KQT7 AKT8 J A642
- Double is perfectly descriptive - extra offensive values and no clear direction. Slam might make but might also be doomed especially in the likely case when partner also has a stiff ♦, so I'm not willing to commit to it with 5nt. If partner removes that, he is sure to ...
- Marc Bonnet's bidding problem: 85 A AKQT8632 86
- 1♦, wait and see. I need to know what other players have to say in order to choose my direction - 3nt or 5/6/7♦. 5♦ is perfectly descriptive and might buy the contract when opps have a better score available in 5M, but might also be ...
- François "Dellache"'s bidding problem: K KQT96 AQT KQT5
- 5nt pick a slam. This is basically a guess, and opps activity at these colors make me optimistic about finding the right cards in partner's hand. Otoh I'm clearly not happy collecting 300 in 4♠x
- Marc Bonnet's lead problem: J632 K97 KT A532
- Black suit leads are horrible,♦K is bad, so I pick up ♥7 as least of evils.
