Free Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 S9 (I play coded 9's and 10's). Let the rest come to me... There is only 2 HCP possible in partner's hand, make it SQ and I have a good lead imo :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only 2 HCP possible in partner's hand, make it SQ and I have a good lead imo :) Same here, except I think pd can have more then 2 points, the 3 nt bidder never said anything about having a 10 count or so. They mite just be bidding on an almost running D suit with maybe an entree somewhere. But agressive leads work out most of the time. Hope this is one of em 8) Mike ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Diamond looks totally wrong, a Heart is very risky, a club may be right, but partner had a chance to double 3C and didn't. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 3C was transfert to Diamond, 3NT not alerted and natural (nto sure why u dont bid 3NT directly but that is not our problem eheh ) Quite obviously because it should be a mild slam try in Ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsb Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 3C was transfert to Diamond, 3NT not alerted and natural (nto sure why u dont bid 3NT directly but that is not our problem eheh ) Quite obviously because it should be a mild slam try in Ds mmhh yes, well i play that 3nt (1NT 3C 3D 3NT )personally as shortness in C and a slam try yes . but obviosuly that person bid 3C and 3Nt without that idea of slam try!! i really think that u have 2 decisions with that hand , transfert in D (whatever u play it) to play 3D. or 3NT rigth away , well let's add a third options if u want (if that's one ??) pass 1nt . i dont like 2NT that kind of hand u will do 6 or 10 tricks but very rarely 8 IMO regards syl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikestar Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Depending on our NT range, I would either bid 3NT direct or pass 3D. Perhaps this was a tactical bid, designed to cause the defenders to mis-estimate each other's strength? If so, this is quite dangerous as the opener might have a hand worth bidding on after a mild slam try. On the other hand, if they have an explicit/implicit agreement that opener always passes 3NT, that is illegal unless alerted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
