Invite slam with 4NT?


Recommended Posts

[hv=d=n&v=n&s=sqt63hatdaj42ca65]133|100|Scoring: IMP

1NT - 2

2 - ?[/hv]

 

1NT is 15-17,

(pd could upgrade 14 with good 5 card minor, and will not have 17 with good 5 card minor)

 

maybe you have a better system to handle this hand, but suppose your options now are either :

 

3NT to play

4NT invitational (after which opener , if accepting, can show 4 or 5 card suits)

 

your choice?

4nt.  Frankly, I'm a little closer to 6nt than 3nt.

You're bidding 4N for the wrong reason then, 6N will usually not be a very good contract. The reason to bid 4N is that it is very easy for 6m to be a good contract. If you told me that partner would accept my 4N invite but that we have no minor fit, I would be very unhappy with my decision.

Is there a standard meaning for 1N - 2 - 2 - 4? Many play 1N - 4 as quantitative but with emphasis on finding a 4-4 minor fit.

 

If 4 is quantitative (and 4N specifically a 4333 or a 3433), that's my call.
