Go back and read the discussion in the original problem. This answers some of milla's objections. You probably belong in 7, but it's hard to tell exactly what is best. But partner can't tell, either. And would a pass even be forcing? I will not trust that it should be. In any case, given the bidding so far, 7C, that's right, CLUBS, is the proper contract. It will make whenever 7S does, and will also make whenever 7S doesn't. /* ---------- */ A question to halle1: I don't quite understand why you would bid 7C, and why it will make whenever 7S does and also make whenever 7S doesn't. What hand do you expect your partner holds? Could you enlighten me? --Ching-Chao Liu HP Portable Computer Division Corvallis, Oregon
