pbleighton Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 3C. 3NT isn't bad, but given the vulnerability, I don't like Qx as a stopper. It could depend on the opps. A lot of players are more conservative than they should be vul against a strong club. Playing against someone like myself, I would probably bid 3NT :P Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I don't like 3H "looking for a stop". If partner HAS the stop then you have just wrong-sided 3N. Possibly another case for Leb/g-b 2N? 3C is nice bid if it shows extras, then P can bid 3H with a little something in the suit. Without that, the case for 3N is looking stronger. Perhaps you don't need a stopper in the play if you have shown one in the bidding? RHO didn't raise H so perhaps you can hope that p has some help, but that doesn't mean much at this vul.

whereagles Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 3NT is a bit of a mastermind, but I'd definitely bid it with a weakish pard. With expert pard I'd probably try 3♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 3C Don't really know where this is going yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Only two choices, 3♣ and pass...I guess i will bid 3♣ because partners hand could be GF and we might easily have slam (and i would change the agreement immediately after this hand). This hand is not as good as it's 19 hcp indicate, and 1♣ already showed a good hand.. long suit weak, high cards in short suits, and the heart Queen is questionabe value.

Apollo81 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Dealer: North Vul: E/W Scoring: MP ♠ AKQ ♥ Qx ♦ AJ ♣ K9xxxx p-p-1♣*-2♥-X*-p-? 1♣ is strong clubX shows genuine takeout with inv values OR any GF hand. you may think this is a silly agreement - you can change it after the board, but not now. 3♣. It seems like I need pard to have two club honors including the Ace AND a heart partial to make 3NT. He will probably bid 3♥ (over my 3♣) with these cards even if this is all he has.

pclayton Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I assume inv. means in the 5-7 range or so? 3♣. I'm a little heavy, but the overcaller can see the vulnerability too, so my ♥Q isn't a great card. My suit sucks too, so I need pard to hold great clubs and a partial club stop which seems like a longshot. Pass is intriguing, but risks a huge loss when its wrong.

mikeh Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 3♣. No need to mastermind: will bid 3N over 3♦ or 3♥, and partner may draw inference from lack of immediate 3N. Partner won't (shouldn't) bid 3N with a single stop unless he has good ♣s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 3♣. No need to mastermind: will bid 3N over 3♦ or 3♥, and partner may draw inference from lack of immediate 3N. Partner won't (shouldn't) bid 3N with a single stop unless he has good ♣s. I am in complete agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double ! Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 3♣ You opened a strong club for a reason. You might wish to inform partner of the reason.Unless things have really changed, wouldn't a 3NT rebid show a strong, balanced or semibalanced hand (whatever range you agreed upon) and not a 1-suited hand?If you rebid 3C, 3NT is still in the picture.
