neilkaz Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 4NT..I just can't sell out to 4♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 FWIW I do not think 4N is 3 suit takeout, it's 2 places to play, so I will never play hearts when it's right. Still, it's much preferable to doubling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 4NT, t/o, two places to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I started to bid 4Nt, then wondered if that would greatly increase our chances of playing the hand in Opener's minor suit (say Diamonds). Is the Heart fit really a given --enough so that 5H is safer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Heart fit really a given --enough so that 5H is safer? Bidding 4NT doesn't commit you to playing in diamonds. If partner bids 5♦, you can bid 5♥ with more certainty of having a fit there. If he bids 5♣, passing will probably work OK even if you are playing in opener's suit - at least you have a 9-card fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
