Phil Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 4♣. Here it comes... wtp? The problem is we just bypassed 3N. But I agree; wtp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanM Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 4♣. Here it comes... wtp?OK, I have to confess - somehow your wtp made me scroll and before I did I thought "what joke is he about to make about Gerber?" :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 4♣. Here it comes... wtp? The problem is we just bypassed 3N. But I agree; wtp? Hehe, it reminds me of the movie Speed. To some people, any time you bid beyond 3NT without a major suit fit it's like the bus going below 50 mph, and there are too many innocent lives at stake to risk that!

Hanoi5 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 If I bid 3♦ it is like asking for a stopper, responder can bid 3♥ (showing 2 cards to a honor) or 3♠ showing a spade but no diamond stopper. Over 3♥ I can bid 4♣, over 3♠, 3NT. If the previous is just a rambling and doesn't make sense then I agree with 4♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Agree with 4♣, a lot of players get this kind of hand wrong and bid 3NT. 3NT can work, but it seems clear to me that we will make 3N and go down in 5♣ much less often than the other way around (mostly because of spades), and 4♣ will also get us to some slams. I would bid 3NT at matchpoints of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I agree with Josh; wtp? btw I did also think a Gerber joke was coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 4♣, support with support. My hand is suit oriented. 5♣ is probably as good as 3NT on average, and we just might have a slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
