re:How to bid this hand? - 2007/01/27 10:51 Looking at which traveller I've no desire to be in a grand. I get a shared top for playing in 6D; I get all the matchpoints for 6NT by the
SK or for 6H. Biddin either of them is allready quite a challenge.

I don't know the _best_ line in 7D. The simplest line is to try and ruff a club in dummy. This needs long diamonds with 3 or more hearts, so is definitely against the odds. If you draw two rounds of trumps first, you basically need hearts 3-3 or 4 heasrts with long trumps in either hand. If you don't draw trumps you need hearts 3-3 or short hearts with short trumps under dummy. That seems worse. You can try and ruff the SA down in two rounds in the meantime, though that will also mean you need trumps 3-2.
