aguahombre Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I don't think another trap will work :P 3Nt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulLanier Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Deal 3.1 simulation of 10 hands indicates 3NT makes about 60% of the time, more if West leads a heart. My opponents never lead a heart when I hold AQTxxx, but South can strip the hand and endplay East in hearts. Here are the ten hands, apparently making 3NT without too much trouble on #3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9. But note hands #5 and 8, where North will not bid 1S if playing balance WJO. 1. ♠K9873 ♥ --- ♦ A743 ♣ J8322. ♠ QT653 ♥ --- ♦ AQ975 ♣ T423. ♠ QJ542 ♥ --- ♦ Q75 ♣ AT7524. ♠ KT752 ♥ 5 ♦ A5 ♣ JT7435. ♠ KQJ9543 ♥ --- ♦ QJT53 ♣ 36. ♠ QT754 ♥ 64 ♦ AJ7 ♣ JT7 7. ♠ KT875 ♥ 7 ♦ AT74 ♣ J658. ♠ KQJ86542 ♥ 6 ♦ QJ42 ♣ ---9. ♠ QJT72 ♥ --- ♦ J9 ♣ AJ743210. ♠ KQ974 ♥ --- ♦ QT93 ♣ JT43 Regards, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 how many MP would 1♥ down a lot be? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 It is usually better, when posting a problem, to base it on a reasonable premise. they obviously misdefended to get you even up to avg. hard to construct a layout where a diamond would not be led, or even a spade, or a whatever other than a heart.

the hog Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Agree with aguahombre. Also this is not a balancing bid, but a totally obvious pass. Opposite any sort of reasonable balancing hand, 3NT is an obvious call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 yep, I wasn't clear. the 1S balance was the premise I was referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Agree with aguahombre. Also this is not a balancing bid, but a totally obvious pass. Opposite any sort of reasonable balancing hand, 3NT is an obvious call. Once again we agree. That 1♠ balance is awful, even at MP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
