goobers Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 You deal at MPs unfavorable AJ ATxx Jxxxx Ax 1D - 2C - 2S - 3Cp - p - 3D - p? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuroth Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I actually had problems with an auction like this last night, because I have no idea how strong partner can be for either bid. If partner has AK♦ and a black K I have great play for 3NT. I only have 1 stopper and 1 holdup in ♣, though, so if partner's points are more in the majors... Well, partner should be at least 10 points, I *think*. 3NT seems plausible, though not certain, so I think I'd try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 3NT. Even if partner is minimum for the auction it rates to have play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Pard would need some very specific minimums for 3N to be right, and some good maximums can even be unplayable. It's MPs and I'm passing but I'll double (er) 4♣ if given the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Pard never has what I need. I suspect pard would bid the same way with Qxxxx Kx KQxx x and we're off at 3NT immediately. I pass 3♦ at MPs definitely, and may think of 4♠ at IMPs knowing there's likely shortage in clubs in the dummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Not an easy hand IMO. Nothing comes with guarantees, but I am bidding 3♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goobers Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 partner had Qxxxx Kx AQT9x x +150 is a good score, the DK is stiff offside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuroth Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 partner had Qxxxx Kx AQT9x x +150 is a good score, the DK is stiff offside Doesn't 5♦ make? Doesn't partner pull 3NT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you get the diamonds wrong, 5D and 4S make. Will partner pull 3N? I have the same question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve94114 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Partner rarely pulls 3NT @ MP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I would never bid 3NT, if I wanted to bid game it would be 4S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
