TimG Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 No, 3C would not be Stayman. In general, Stayman only applies after a no trump opening bid (2C-2D-2N counts as a no trump opening). In the auction you have provided, most players would consider 2NT to deny a four-card major (or perhaps be 4333 with a very bad four-card major). The correct bid is probably 3N.

mcphee Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 3C shows C and is not useful in asking for a major as [artner has already denied holding 4 major. I would bid 3N and hope it makes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantumcat Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yeah not much point asking for a major if he can't have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
