X


X is always the winning bid in a bidding poll

My partners demand I bid with aces or kings stuff......

Pass. I don't expect we can make anything unless partner can act again.

Agree with pass here.

Pass, then pass if partner doubles again. Both these answers are clear to me. I have no intention of doing anything but defending with this hand.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Pass, if forced to bid, I would
bid 3NT, which I would do,
if partner reopenes.
... I take it for granted
that this is the partner hand to
your 2nd thread.

With kind regards

You betcha. I knew I couldn't keep it a secret.

Certainly an example of preempts work... or do they?

Isn't 3NT not even good at all, on any auction? And it's not clear you would reach it with no interference either, many players would just pass a 1NT opening on this hand, and even if you invited should partner really accept with 16 including four queens, none of which have either the king or jack with them?

In my view, if you knew partner's hand you would want to be in 3NT (possibly from his side). Given that the ♥K is likely onside, 3NT is going to have good play (needing one ♦ honour onside and that the defense cannot gather themselves to collect 4 club tricks in the process). If the 2♥ bidder had passed, I'd at least invite to 3NT in my system given we are playing a strong club (so partner would show a 16-18 NT).
