Jacoby 2NT |
Show Detail |
Here is the hand of the session. Surely you have to find a slam, and to me the way there is to play 2NT opposite an opening of 1♥ as game forcing. A 2♣ opening with the South hand is a possibility but to me I hate this as you make it almost impossible to bring in the second suit. Once in a blue moon you will be passed out, but its a risk worth taking. 3♦ opposite 2NT is constructive and shows a suit, and after that a series of cue bids should find you the way to the promised land.

19th July Report |
Show Detail |
One of the greatest pleasures in this game is bidding slams, yet this one eluded all three tables. The first decision arrives with openers re-bid. The bidding panel were split between 2♠ and 3♣ . In my view 3♣ is an overbid and there will be no stopping East now. 2♠ shows the 6th spade and gives you more room. When East shows he has strength in reserve with 3♠, West has heard enough and rolls out the old black. Whichever route you choose, the end result is the same, it's just a question of who asks for Aces.
