♠ A 9 8 7 5 3 ♥ 9 5 ♦ K Q J 10 ♣ A |
The bidding has gone as shown. It is your bid. You want to force partner to game while you describe your hand. So you make a Splinter Bid of 4♥. Partner replies 5♣. What do you bid next? Partner has the ♣A. Good. You are pretty worried about ♦s and also your 11 high card points. You are tempted to just sign off at 5♠ but you shouldn't. You can make a control-bid below the 5♠ level. So you bid 5♥. This tells partner that your Splinter must have been a ♥ void. Partner bids 6♠. Deal 19 |
