han Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Q10A10JxxxxAJ9x 1D - 1S?? How do you rate 1NT vs 2C? You are playing pairs, don't remember the vulnerability (I didn't have this hand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburn Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 1NT is what I would do at all forms of scoring and all vulnerabilities. There may be considerable advantage in having a major-suit lead come round to my hand in notrump, and with half my strength in my short suits, I do not intend to bid this as if it were a two-suiter. Since I would unquestionably open a weak no trump if that is what I were playing, that is what I will rebid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I used to mentally tract 5-4's that looked 'right' for a NT rebid (matchpoints). I found out that frequently the suit contract was far preferable. Still, this hand 'screams' NT with its tenaces and intermediates. So I slightly prefer 1N over 2♣. I can easily live with a pass instead of 1♦ btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I bid 1NT. The hand looks to me like a balanced hand with 12-14 points. more than it looks like a hand with ♦ and ♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Easy 1NT rebid IMO. David Burn said what needs to be said above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Most likely I would bid 2C, but I like 1NT better. Pairs has nothing to do with it, but playing Pairsshould make 1NT even more attractive. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 1nt at MP2♣ at Imps, but I find 1nt reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
