Scoring: IMP


Bidding went:

1♠-p-1NT*-2♥
3♦-p-4♠-5♣
5♠-X-end

1NT was forcing one round. Do you agree with the bidding? Oh well, LHO leads the ♥Ace. What do you do? Opps are BBO randoms who are above average.

edit: fixed diagram
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

1♠ opening is ok if not playing Namyats. Don't like 3♦, My rebid is 4♠. I think I take the diamond finesse and later a ruffing finesse.

I think opening 1♠ is really bad in practical bridge. Also hate 3♦, it's not even forcing. Sorrrry

Don't apologize, looking at the hand again I agree with both assertions:) How would you play it?

I do hate 1NT too if that helps! I guess I'll play ace and a diamond and have to know what happens from there.

Hi,

is the diagram correct?

If South faces a passed hand, a 4S opening would have
been better.
Assuming south to be dealer, I think the bidding was fine.

With kind regards

No it's not, S opened. Thanks.

I will now cash 1 spade and take a ruffing hook in diamonds, planning to ruff my last diamond also. If RHO has 2 spades I am down (and his bidding is weird!).

As far as the bidding I think 1N is good, and 1S is fine (reaching slam is not an impossibility, our hand is very good). I think 3D is bad, at that point south should have just gone ahead and bid 4S and hoped to shut them out.
