发帖数: 3277 | 1 I would bid 4C with C support. Although some partnership may play 4C
as RKC, I think it's more important to show partner your C support and
grandslam in C is still possible:
S- HAxx DAKQTxxx CKxx
vs:
SKJxx HQxx D- CAQJxxx
a good bidding sequence would be:
1D 2C
3D 3N
4C 4D(kick back RKC)
5S(sp void, odd number of KC) 7C
Here, I'd ratner play 4D after 3NT as a very strong slam try, partner should
usually bid 4H to check KC, something like: Sx HAKx DAKQJxxx Cxx
4H/4S still are natural and forcing, |

The structure is plausible. Be sure it fits your system.
I doubt this will work with your jumping rebid Axx xxx AKQJ10x x,
which is "enough" in your method. However, seems here the responder
has to bid 4D with a moderate hand. I just wonder how you are going
to manage to get 11 tricks in diamonds, comparing with the laid-down
9-trick 3NT, which can never be reached now. I hate useing artificial
examples. But sometime, it may help clearify the point.

Pull it out, at least 3D won't be a disaster for sure :-)
The point is to defend club contract, your heart honors lose
their significance. I don't favor 3NT with this hand, coz probably
you don't have time to set up your tricks.

play from yourside so you might as well hide D support for now. Partner can
bid 3S to show support, or 3N to show C stopper, after which you can still
show D support. At some point you want to launch the keycard, as all you are
interested in is his number of keycards.
If desperately need a favorable swing, can try the effect of 5C, exclusive RKC

3NT is no good at all.
guess what, players at both table did even worse, they jump
into the troublesome 6NT instead of 6C after the above auction.
There probably going to be some entry problems, but in 6C, the
defense side may not be able to exploit your weakness, say, they
cannot afford to duck a spade or a diamond.
One of them made it coz the worst thing happened to his opps.
The leader underlead from K, and dummy's heart Q hold the first trick. |

Suppose you play 2C as forcing one round like most people do.
That means a double followed by a 3C showing a weak hand with
4-6 distribution and only interested in competition.
Seems you have to bid 2C with this hand.
The auction goes on:
1D 1S 2C 3S

now what? |

发帖数: 3277 | 15 4H: just to finish my plan.
partner bid 3NT freely, so he should have a reasonable hand here.
If he rebid 4NT, I'd pass it. If he cuebid 4S, I'd bid 5NT to ask him
to pick a slam. |

发帖数: 623 | 16 True, passing is very marginal, especially with the actual hand. But the
proper way to look at a disaster is to examine our side for possible
improvements and if we can help pd avoid that fatal mistake, perhaps due to a
flying cow -- after all it's much easier to perfect ourselves than partner.
Given the 3NT bid, there's just no room for partner to have 4 card H suit, so
the natural, nonforcing 4H serves little purpose here. And to show H strength
should be of a long secondary importance. Pd wi |

总可以拔了SAK, 然后DJ送出, 南如果吃进, 只能回D,
东吃进后, 把DT铲下, 拔了D, 最后在H上投入南.
南如果不吃DJ, 东可以打小H, 南必须吃, 但吃完了还是被投入. 所以只要东有D8,
总可以打2NT. |

发帖数: 3277 | 23 I think 4C is still natural but forcing.
because sometimes, you may not have spade fit and H stopper,
for example, you may have SJ Hxxx DAxxx CAKxxx, the only bid that makes
sense here is 4C.
you may easily miss a cold 5C or 5D if partner
has SAKxxx Hx DKQxx CQxx, so looking for a fit is still the first priority.
This bidding sequence is different from
1H 3S 4C
I think 4C here should be fit showing. Since with S stopper, we can
bid 3NT, without S stopper, we can double, it doesn't make sense to |

发帖数: 623 | 24 I don't get it. why did you get bottom with 500 when 450 is the highest
legitimate score??
Forget about the field protection at BBO... as most people's defense are
relatively primitive which encourages overbidding.
As far as 21-23 3NT sometimes there's a good reason. Sometimes you don't see a
way to get there.
I remember a hand from a regional open pairs. I held AQx Q8 T8x AKJTx, both

opened 1C and when pd responder 1S |

发帖数: 623 | 25 The real difference is whether jump shift/reverse should be 100% game forcing.
The implication of that actually lies in how light you can respond on 1 level.
Say, after 1C opening, do you consider JTxxx x xxx JTxx good enough for
responding? Or, how about JTxxx xxx Jxxx x? I believe the answer is yes unless
red on white, (plus red on red on MP). Then having a signoff sequence is quite
useful, actually mandatory. In that case the issue of wrongsiding the 3NT is
not that serious as in most cases i |

after hearing 3D, I am far from sure that Diamond will be our trump. Since I
assume 22HCP from pd, for this hand, I can imagine 6C, 6H, or 6NT(most
likely).
At that moment, I want to show my slam interest, so skip 3NT and bid 4C.

can always push later. Because my p won't stay at 3H, that's for su |

发帖数: 3277 | 28 this is really not an easy hand to bid. perhaps 4C over 2C to show a very
strong suit and set up trumps? anyway, 2C 3C does take up a lot of bidding
space. perhaps 3C then 3H over 3D works well, then later pull 3NT to 4C,
however, even after that, it's very hard to ask for KC, since
4NT by opener would be to play. |

发帖数: 13455 | 29 Bidding: I would bid 3NT, leaving the final decision to my partner, since he
would know about my pts and strength. If he would pass, fine, it shows he's no
support to S. If he would respond, he would have to bid 4NT to begin Blackwood
process.
As of playing, I don't think it's a problem as long as not a weired
distribution (i.e., RHO has no S or/and H), just to keep DK as bridge to cash
H suits.

Round 2. S10 to K in dummy.

发帖数: 4 | 30 You are brave to bid 6S.
Over 2N, I might choose 3NT or pass depending on the situation.
As for the play, according to the bid, I would play RHO hand as 1-1-6-5.
Win the first trick in hand and play SJ. If LHO does not cover with SQ,
play low in dummy. After three rounds spades, lead low H from dummy to
HK and clear the last trump outside. One H finesse and H ruff will bring
the contract home. |

There is a big difference between "full disclosure" and presentation of more
than 1000 pages of system notes. :-)
Bridge Laws don't require the latter.
To the same extent as Hamman-Wolff, Martel-Stansby and Cintra-Branco.
Their system/method is complex, but not unusual. This is a high-powered system
with which ordinary players are likely to have trouble.
In fact, a lot of their methods, credited to Rodwell, have leaked out and are
broadly adopted by GM level experts, such as serious 3NT, LTTC, |

For your Hand, if you have 4-6 in H/C
you 'e better bid 2C first, instead of 1H
1H, 4C is more likely to be a strong hand with 5-5 or 6-5 in H, C
Well, if no support in D, the two suite should be strong enough.
I guess 3NT is not a wise choice.
If you could make it, you probably could make 6D or 6C, or 6H, depends on your

he could bid 6D directly after your 4C, hehe
