So we won our first game tonight, back at 8:45am tomorrow for round#2.

Here is a hand I found difficult. NV 1st seat partner opens 1D holding

KQ95, KQ65, KJT74, V opposite

JT6, AJx, AQx, T863

How should the bidding go?

Congratulations on winning. Here are my 3AM thoughts on the auction:

1D-3N

Then either pass out or 4 or 5 diamonds by opener. I dunno. I think passing is reasonable.

I'm not proud of it, but I think most of the time I'd bid this as 1♦-3nt-all pass.

At IMPs it feels a little easier to bid 4♦ over 3nt since 5♦= compared to 3nt+1 isn't a disaster, and we might even have 6♦. At MP it feels riskier (which is probably why I tend to play 3nt-1 when 5m makes on hands like this - bridge is hard).

Hi,

most likely we would bid

1D - 2NT (11-12)
3H - 3NT

all pass

I am not sure responders hand is worth a GF, but you will
end up in game anyway, and the most likely endcontract is 3NT.

If responder is limited, there is also no need for opener to
remove 3NT, in search of a slam.

With kind regards
Marlowe

This is a really awkward hand because of the combination of the suit you have the fit in and the suit with the void.

I'd really like to bid 1♦-3N-5♣ exclusion, but can't as I can go past 5♦ with no safety net.

We play 1♦-3N as precisely 3334, I don't know what it is in your system.

I can see no way of bidding this scientifically to 6♦, the only way to get there would be some sort of cue bidding auction after 1♦-3N-4♦ where the 3N bidder bypasses the club cue and the other hand decides that the knowledge partner doesn't have the ♣AK is enough to sway the odds in favour of punting 6♦.

I suspect we'd play 5♦. 1♦-3N-4♠(cue, not denying a heart control, 4♥ would be asking aces)-4N(heart control)-5♣(cue, 4♣ over 3N would have been natural)-5♦ and now it would be a pure punt to bid any more.

Ugly but I can't think of other.

Besides playing for fun, most people also like to play bridge to win
