barmar Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 The question is - is the gain in flexibility of which way around to play the contract worth the loss of 4C as Gerber? ;) How often do you have a 1NT/2NT - 4♣ Gerber auction? If it comes up more than once a year I'd be surprised. I think it's Klinger's book on notrump bidding that makes a strong case that Gerber is one of the most useless conventions -- it's extremely rare that all you need to know when deciding whether to bid a slam is whether you're missing an ace or king.
