gwnn Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 3NT easy 1st round. Now I have to bid 3NT I suppose but now it's a misdescription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

655321 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Agree with bidding the obvious 3NT on the previous round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 3NT the first time round. If we have game on, that is our most likely game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Doubling had been my third choice. Now I will bid my first choice. In short: Agree with Helene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Double, but I have xfer responses with lowest xfer maybe joker. This allows partner to xfer into a red with AQxxx alerting me to try higher. Essentially I allow HA +DA +5-red suit to show and if not 3NT next.

mtvesuvius Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 3NT. 3NT. On my 3rd chance unfortunately 3NT would be insufficient :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 See no evil, hear no evil, BID 3NT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I'm not sure what the point of double was. What are you going to correct to, 4♣? Surely you plan to bid 3NT at your second call regardless of what partner bids. I don't hate a 3♣ call on the first round, but I would have bid 3NT. If partner puts down an Ace, you'll likely make it. While there are plenty of dummies where pass or 4♣ could work out better on the second call, I'd still bid 3NT, for the same reasons. I don't think it's too optimistic to hope partner has an Ace and that clubs come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 The best chance to play 3NT is normally to bid it, on this hand it also happens to rightside the contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Overcalling 3C the first time is a good way to miss easy games. Xing the first time is a good way to get to 4H in a 5-2 fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Doubling had been my third choice. Now I will bid my first choice. In short: Agree with Helene. Even shorter, I agree with Roland. Can't really understand the double on the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
