Phil Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 RHO opens 4 of a minor. What do you think the best use of 4N is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Natural, which uncoincidentally is expert standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I vote natural as well. It's just too difficult a game if you have to take some other action with a strong balanced hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Justin agrees with me as usual (well, to be honest, I happen to remember what he said last time this issue came up in a BBF poll). 4NT is natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 This was more of a reality check for me. I was speaking to a very good player who though it should the two lower unbid suits, since he didn't think 4N made any sense as natural (he'd double). I asked what he would do with a balanced 20 and a doubleton in one of the majors (I never got an answer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bid_em_up Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 55 other minor + major, 10+ playing tricks. So we are -1 in 5M when 4M was making? Brilliant!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 55 other minor + major, 10+ playing tricks. So we are -1 in 5M when 4M was making? Brilliant!! Yes. That's the price you pay for the increased precision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Au natural with me too. Not enough hands for the 5-5's to warrant a five bid when I rightly deserve a 5-2 fit and a penalty double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
