From a recent Gold
Cup round 2 match
Non-vul vs Vul. IMPs Dealer West
What do you bid now ? Seven hearts should
be solid unless partner has three small
diamonds. Simplest is to bid seven hearts and hope, most of the
time partner will not have three small diamonds and even if he does
there is the chance of a two-two split. However, there is a
little known extension to RKCB. After Roman Key Card Blackwood
has identified all of the controls a bid of
six of a non-trump suit asks partner to bid the grand with third
round control in that suit, so six diamonds is the recommended call.
Partner's hand was AKQ3, KQ82, QJ7, Q6 so both the agricultural and the sophisticated approaches would have worked. |
