helene_t Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 3NT wtp, don't trust the vulnerable opponents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 2NT, even if we have 6 running clubs we still need one more trick for 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 3NT, the opponents are full of crap imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Definitely 2NT, and partner is by far the most likely one to be full of crap, so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 2N will gets you 3♣ from pard. The opps will compete to 3♥, and you'll raise clubs (right?), and they'll take the push. Pass, double or 5♣? i.e., 1H - 2C - 2H - 2N3H - pass - pass - 4Cpass - pass - 4H - ? At the table I doubled. The auction continues similarly: 1H - 2C - 2H - dbl3H - 3S - 4H - ?

Apollo81 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'd pass 4♥ after 2Ning and 4♣ing. I might have passed instead of 4♣ing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petergreat Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I still don't trust our enemies. The fact that partner could bid a second time implies his points are real, and therefore at least one of our enemies are psyching. But double or 5♣? If we defend 4♥x we will take 2 spade tricks, 1 heart trick and 1 club trick, most probably. Even with Ace and another heart lead you would probably let them score 2 club ruffs...♦AK most probably and his hearts likely 9 tricks. It may be only 8 tricks, but I wouldn't gamble on this one. 5♣? Probably lose a heart, 2 diamonds, instant down. Forget it. So, although 4♥x will probably only net you 200 it is better than a certain-down 5♣. Besides, if partner really has a singleton diamond and can limit losers to 2 the opponents would probably only take 8 tricks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have mentioned it was a 3 board playoff.

Fluffy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 wow, with a bit of card switch in clubs & spades they make 4♥, even with the joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_s Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Looks like N has an immediate 4♥ raise to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
