mtvesuvius Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I agree with everyone that this is a clear pass, part 2 please. Say LHO reopens with a double, Pass, Pass back to you... would 3NT be for the minors now? What if LHO reopens with a double, Pass, 4♥ to you... Now what?

mtvesuvius Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Part 3? ;) The 3NT running was really what I was curious about... It seems like it may have some merit playing it as minors there I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDean Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I agree pass is clear first time around. I would double 4♥. I would pass again if 3♠x comes around to me, regardless of what 3NT means. redouble is probably running, two places to play (forcing to the four level with 0445 or the like is not a good idea), so not sure what 3NT would mean. I would need really extreme shape to take out partner's red 3♠ to the four level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I would double 4♥, and pass out 3♠X. It doesn't sound as though the opponents have a massive heart fit (except that we are told RHO might bid 4♥ instead of passing ;)). So partner might have 3 hearts to go along with his 7 spades, leaving very few minor suit cards. In 3♠X we hope to take AKA in the minors to go along with 4 or 5 spade tricks. Not so bad, whereas 4♣X could be a bloodbath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neobas Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Dunno if 4♥X goes down... p p to me would be a definite 3N bid for me ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
