What agreements do you have in these situations to help inform your decision?

Bid what you think you can make.

[skjaeran]

You've got absolutely no space here, so you just have to guess what you can make.

I'll bid 6♥. I expect there's a good chance we can make that, but no certainty. If parner has AKxx-Axxx-KQxxx-v, he'll raise to 7. I don't think he'll raise with less.

[goobers]

I think any possible agreements you would have would be to kick each other under the table, tug your ears, or otherwise looking for reflective surfaces!

[gingolia]

mostly i was wondering if there is anyway i can avoid bidding 6♥ here ... partner has KJTxx Axxx KQJ x ... 6♣ and 6♥ both off one. based on results of poll, i guess 6♥ is pretty normal

Congratulate your opponents on a well-judged auction and move on to the next board.

I have 52 pages in my notes about this auction let me check them

[dake50]

6C and 6H both off one??
Seems everyone Us/Them bid within one trick in a close judgment situation.
Well done ALL around. Next hand.

I guess so =)

On a more serious note I would bid 6♥

[whereagles]

6♥. I consider this a no-problem

[jchiu]

I'm bidding 6♥ confidently. Once in a while, you may even entice your right-hand opponent with a black two-suiter to bid 7♣. That I'll be happy to sit for.

[P_Marlowe]

Hi,

6H.

50 in both directions means you have
reached parscore, at least nearly,
which seems perfect.

If I loose only 4 IMPS at this deal, I am
happy, it could have been a lot more.

With kind regards
Marlowe

PS: For whats it worth, the only thing that
may help you a bit is knowledge of your
partner and knowledge about your opponents.

I consider this a big problem. No votes for pass, but I am thinking about it, have no idea.

I do see 90%+ for bidding 6H.

[Edmunte1]

6♥, i don't care too much if i'm going down and 6♣ was also down one in IMP's, losing 4 IMP's . But it will be a much bigger lost if either 6♣ or 6♥ makes

I agree. That is why 6H is mandatory on this deal. If either 6H or 6C makes, you have to bid 6H or lose about 13 to 18 IMPS. If both go down, bidding 6H will turn a 2-3 IMP gain into a 2-3 IMP loss. So you are risking about 4-6 IMPS to insure not losing 13-18 IMPS. Bidding 6H on this hand is a textbook example of taking insurance.

Opponent DID have a black 2-suiter. However, the opponent never considered bidding 7C (otherwise she would have done it to start with).
