mtvesuvius Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 All NV at IMPs you hold: ♠Kx♥------♦AKQTx♣AJTxxx RHO opens 1♠, do you bid 2NT? or Double? Say you bid 2NT, and partner now bids 3♣, back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Definitely 2NT, not double! After 3C we need very little for game, 3 small clubs gives play. So I don't think that 4C is enough, I will bid 3S and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'll also start with 2NT then 3♠, planning on 4♥ over 4♣ and hoping I'm not doing too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlson Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Since I'm not going to let partner out below game anyway, I might as well try 4♥ now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vuroth Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'll also start with 2NT then 3♠, planning on 4♥ over 4♣ and hoping I'm not doing too much. I like 2NT/3♠, but doesn't 4♥ over 4♣ deny a ♦ stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like 2NT/3♠, but doesn't 4♥ over 4♣ deny a ♦ stop? No, not when we are showing so much strength and have a diamond suit. My main worry is that partner will bid slam based on very little and it won't have play, but I think even after the 3♣ and 4♣ signoffs slam is just possible.

hanp Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Bids above 3nt are not about stoppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotlight7 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hi: Double suggests(promises) heart support "which you do not have." 2NT suggests 5-5+ minors "which you do have." Many players use shape showing bids either weak or strong, which you have. Bid 2NT and hope to sort it all out later.
