Fluffy Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 (E) - N - (W) - Sps-1♣-1♥-2♥ps-4NT You will probably argue that you have 3♥ for the strong one, but both are strong, so both could use 3♥ instead :) If you need your cards: ♠Kxx♥xx♦Kxx♣AJ9xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbleighton Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 It would be Blackwood. Your cards aren't nearly good enough for any kind of slam try, assuming 2H shows an invitational or better club raise. You have a balanced minimum, wide open in hearts. Rebid 3C.

Peter Sorry I might not have explained it very well, your hand is the 2♥ bidder's cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Fit -> blackwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Fit -> blackwood. But what about if ♣ are trumps 4NT is never Blackwood. That is a much more useful agreement if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 BW, although I wonder why partner did not bid 4C, natural and forcing. Having this option available, it makes probablysense to play 4NT as nat.On the other hand 2H may well be based on shape,at least partially, and opener has no chance to know. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 BW, although I wonder why partner did not bid 4C, natural and forcing. Yes but if all he needs to know is your number of keycards, he might as well avoid control bidding which could be doubled for the lead. I agree with Eric that 4NT should never be RKC for clubs, but quanti doesn't make much sense either. If 2♥ is invitational+ 4NT may not be safe and if it's GF an 18-19 hand could start with 2NT.

All of this is way too complicated for me if I am playing with a WC pickup partner.If they expect me to know that 4nt is natural or 2nt is 18-19 hcp we are in big trouble. :) rkc for clubs I would guess. Of course if we have discussed this one auction before sitting down together, no problem but willing to bet we have not. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 On this one I just held [hv=s=sahaxxdackq108xxxx]133|100|[/hv] I could concern that 4NT could be played as natural (looking at the poll I was not far from right), therefore would not ever dream to bid a non forcing one below the 6 level :). Instead of the clean 4NT-XX-5NT-XX-7NT I ended up bidding a pedestrian:4♣-5♣ (I should had suposed this one before ;) )5♦-5♠6♥-7♣7NT Thank god ♣A wasn't missing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Its key card to me. All balanced hands start with 2N (which is forcing through 3 of our minor). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 4NT is whatever I've agreed with pard. Oh wait, you mean you don't have any agreement? B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
