Finishing Well in Ft. Wayne!
Sunday, September 27, 2009 at 05:51PM The Swiss teams today was a nice event. Our team played solid bridge all day long. We finally ended the streak of two players having tough matches each round -- we were just good all day. We, of course, got a few things wrong but in general it was just solid bridge from everyone today. I was proud after our tough week to finish well... 5-0-2 and 4th Overall (just behind the Pols and Meckwell.)

Your partner opens 2N. How do you bid this hand?
Robert Todd
So, did you figure out how to bid this hand? I started with Stayman and after partner bid 3D I was still mildly interested in slam. So I bid Smolen (non-jump here) of 3H - that way I find out if partner has 3c Spade Support. Partner bid 3N and now I completed the slam try description of my hand by transfering (showing a 6c suit) with 4H.
2N - 3C
3D - 3H*
3N - 4H*
The auction proceeded from there to 6N (though 6S was slightly better, since I had the spade J.) But this is a nice auctoin to have with this kind of distribution.
