Echognome Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Gadget hand. Some people have methods for these hands in particular. (i.e. any 4441, then later show strength) With no methods, I'm going to bid 3♣ and pretend I'm 4=1=3=5 or 4=0=4=5. If opener rebids 3♦ I will bid 4♥ splinter. If he bids 3NT, then I will pass. If he bids 3♥ (presumably stopper showing), I will bid 3NT. If he bids 3♠, then I will really be stuck. I will probably then bid 5♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We agree but since 3♣ is 100% GF, I slow the bidding down after 3♠ with 4♣ since a slam in ♣ may be possible. Edit.. whereagles is correct in that 3♦ followed by 4♣ is probably a better method since bidding and rebidding ♣ really implies more than a 4 carder and ♦ could be lost. Some people play that after 1NT a direct 3♥ shows this hand and it is perfect for this hand which wants to play a slam in any minor if no 44 ♠ fit is found, but which can give up other meanings to 3♥ or be wrong at times.

P_Marlowe Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hi, since this is a hand in the beginners forum,I would suggest 3NT.You have at most 32HCP between you, andit will be a thin slam, ... and to make 6NT a successfull bet, you need highcard strength. You have 8 card fit in a minor, but withoutspecial agreements, you have no simple way to discover the fit. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I would bid 3♦ and follow-up with 4♣ (or 6♣ if pard supports my diamonds). 3NT has a lot to be said for, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
