The disaster round

It was the crucial match against Forza, first match of the day. Let's look at some of the hands (this time not from me, but from my partner) and see how well you will fare.

Board 1:

You are holding
93
A5
A104
AKQ632

Your LHO opens 2D (Multi), meaning weak 2 in major or strong/balanced. Your p overcalls 2S and RHO passes. What will you bid?

Given that your partner insists on spades in the second round of auction, will you support spades or insist on your strong club suits?

This is what goes on at the table. Zehan bids 3C (new suit force) and I bid 3S, to show 6 good carder spades. A 4NT RK revealed two keycards without queen and a 6S comes.

Nothing wrong on the surface... but when the cards are shown, I'm astounded to see 6 good clubs sitting in front of me. 7C is cold. Indeed, it is with this adventurous spirit that saw the auction went to the cold 7C contract by our opps (though the bidding isn't scientific at all)

N E S W
2H 2S P 3H(1)
P 4S P 4NT (2)
P 5H P 7C!

(1) Strong, Cue Suit
(2) RK in spades

This meant a 10-imp swing to the opps, right at the first board.

On further thinking, I realised our bidding system is so scientific as compared to our dear opps. This is what I will suggest (If my dear p is imaginative and a little more daring enough, since we surely have game values)

N E S W
2H 2S P 3C (f1)
P 3S P 4C (insist)
P 4NT P 5D (1/4 kc)
P 5H P 5NT (queen with nothing else)
P 7C!

since East has

and the 4NT asking revealed 4 keycards (aka the three aces and trump king) and 1 trump queen. This surely needs no invitation to the 7 level even if West's hand has 5 or 6 clubs.

Another board in question will be board 10.

You are holding

Your p opens 1D, you bid 1H and your LHO bids 2S. Partner bids 4H and after a long thought, RHO bids 4S. Should you bid 5H, double or pass?

The answered will be revealed at my next post.
