andy_h Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 3NT so I can play it. But really, 3H is showing a stopper and how on earth would I know if partner is 5-5? Anyway, even if partner is 5-5, 3NT still rates to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, even if partner is 5-5, 3NT still rates to be good. Unless you have an agreement 3♥ is a stopper or somefink, pard SHOULD be 55 because the 3♦ rebid tends to deny 4♥.

peachy Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 This would be a unanimous vote except someone must have misclicked on the Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 come on, someone please vote something else! .-) You asked for it. And I did not vote for Pass ... I disagree with the statement mntioned in the threadelse where, that 3NT is a wtp, but I am willing to admit, that 3NT is the best bid under condition, since we play MP, I voted for 4D, and one should at least consider the bid,since responder is unlimited, and we have a power house, making 6D a real possibility. But bypassing 3NT at MP is always risky, so 4D is mostlikely only an option one should choose, if one is lookingfor tops, because one needs to catch up.

ArtK78 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I don't understand the rationale for 4♦. Yes, we have a fine hand. But we have already shown that we have a fine hand. Yes, we have a very good diamond suit. But we have already shown that we have a very good diamond suit. We have 1-3 in the majors - but partner has the majors. We have AQJ in the unbid suit. Seems right for notrump. If there is a slam here, partner should be able to take another call over 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sathyab Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 It's been a while since I've visited the forum. Last time I was here, there was a spirited, if slightly prolonged debate about the merits of bypassing your own major when you have support for partner's, which was preceded by another debate about how to handle 1453 hands with non-reverse values after a 1d-1s start. These debates did go on seemingly forever and one could be forgiven for wishing that they'd stop. Well you got your wish, H_KARLUK seems to be firmly in control of this place now :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi, I just discussed this hand with my regular p, who is a lot more enterprising than I am, but he said, that he would have 3NT instead of 3D.

You have already shown a good hand, but such a good hand?You have already shown a good suit, but such a good suit? But I have just seen, that p is a passed hand, which makes amaking slam less likely.

Finch Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 What was the point of this poll?Not only is 3NT the blindingly obvious call it also transpired to be the correct contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 What was the point of this poll?Not only is 3NT the blindingly obvious call it also transpired to be the correct contract.Maybe he had a bet/dispute with somebody. Using this forum to settle such things is fine by me, though I would probably never do it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeegan Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I voted for 4D, and one should at least consider the bid,since responder is unlimited, and we have a power house, making 6D a real possibility. :unsure: Partner needs specific cards for 6♦ to be a laydown - ♠A, ♥ KQ, and either the ♥A or the ♣K - nothing wasted in spades, the suit where he has 5+ cards. With most 12 HCP hands, he will bid over 3NT - 4♦ as a slam interest bid might work, but it seems against the odds to me - and, does it suggest slam or a ton of diamonds not solid or else no club stop.
