BillHiggin Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 4N says this (well, it says two suits and this is one of the possibilities) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 4 NT says 2 minors.With Spade and a minor you can bid 4 Heart. But I would never bid 4 NT with this hand. 3 NT is it, bid and hope. After a double from your left, 4 Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I wouldn't have thought about 3NT at the table, but I think it's a fun bid and quite possibly sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianshark Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I think 3NT is silly tbh. Bid 4NT... not only is a minor game more likely to make but in case partner has a monster, a minor suit slam will be easier to find this way.

gwnn Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 but in case partner has a monster, ... and trap passed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 5 of a minor needs less than 3N. 4N is my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 5 of a minor needs less than 3N. 4N is my choice. 3 NT wins opposite AK of spade and out. AQ of spade and out and the hook working. If pd just has Ax of diamond, which is a hand with fewer HCPs, he needs a good fit to ruff my diamonds to make 5 Club superior. So, which lesser holding makes 5 Club a winner? Of course there are hands which makes 5 in a minor and not 3 NT, but same is true vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ♠AK / ♠AQ gets you to 8 tricks in NT - you need one more. If I catch those cards in dummy along with the ♦Q, I'll be thinking about 6 of a minor.

han Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 4NT, though 3NT is not unreasonable I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 4NT for me, think that 5m is easier than 3NT and that PD may have a max pass and we may find a slam on a lucky day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I catch those cards in dummy along with the ♦Q, I'll be thinking about 6 of a minor. maybe this is why I always fail in 3 NT, I just make my eight tricks... sorry, counted the clubs for 6 tricks, which could be a little over-optimistic....

firmit Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 3NT. And fasten your seat belt. My first reaction is - hope you got an airbag! ;-) I did not even consider bidding 3NT with this hand - interesting choice but I don't buy it. It's 4NT for me.

My first reaction is - hope you got an airbag! ;-) I did not even consider bidding 3NT with this hand - interesting choice but I don't buy it. It's 4NT for me. I got a parachute. Does that count? :rolleyes: 4NT has the advantage of 5m still having chances if pard doesn't have the ♦A, so yeah perhaps that's statistically better.

helene_t Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 3N would be my choice. I think it's close. Thinking more about it, I think I would prefer 4N because if LHO bid 4♥ over my 3N, partner will not be able to pick a minor, and 4N by me in the rebound would probably be to play. If I bid 3N and p doubles 4♥, I will have to sit for the same reason (of course, sitting for 4♥x could easily be right but I don't feel quite confident).
