These are the experts answers:
|
|
4NT, because we are going to play in hearts, if I dont hear a Cue Bid, I pass over 5. |
|
|
|
6. I dont expect to find beautiful hearts and the A, with that I would play 7 (my partner would have said 3 over the 2). I do not want to give too much information, because I fear a diamond lead and do not want to make life easier to my opponents. |
|
|
|
6. If my partner have many cute hearts he must not have another thing: I hope they do not lead a diamond! |
|
|
|
4NT, followed by 5, to show slam interest. I dont want to play 6 if my partner has this kind of hand: xxx KQJxxxx xx x. If my partner says 5 I can bid 6 hoping he has a single diamond …I know that my partner cant have:KQxxxxx and the A, too much for 4. |
|
|
|
4NT declarative, which may contain different kind of hands (strong heart fit, 6-4 minors, very strong one color hand). | |
|
|
4NT: as an attempt to slam, can be a one color strong hand or a hand with fit; next round I would say 5 showing my hand and if my partner has extra values (eg singleton diamond) he should say 6. |
|
|
|
4NT…Not ace asking for me, but asking for useful cards. If he answers 5, I pass. If he says 5 or 5 I bid the slam. |
