pooltuna Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 [hv=d=n&v=n&s=skxhj10xxdkjxxcjxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP1♦-3♠-ps-psdbl-ps-??[/hv] either 3NT or 4♥ could be right. Basically looks like a blind guess to me. Maybe Justin and Helene could enumerate why their choice is better than the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'll go with 4♥. I'd require an extra stopper for 3NT, or the chance for a hold up play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 4♥. For me, there's not enough in ♠ to unilaterally decide on 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 4♥ 4♦ rates to be the safest contract, but I have enough to insist on game opposite a partner who reopens over 3♠, and committing to 5♦ is too much. Besides, often there will be little difference in the play of 4 of either red suit, so we may as well be in the higher scoring contract. Of course, when we are wrong, they are more prone to double 4♥than 4♦...tho I will stay stuck if that happens. Partner will not always hold 4♥ but he will hold 4♥ more often than he will provide a second stopper in spades, where he rates to hold about 1.4 cards (not all opps will raise 3♠ simply because they hold 3 card support...they need a reason not to expect to go for 500-800). So 4♥ it has to be, with no assurance that it will be the best spot opposite partner's hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
