Old York Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 The texture of the hand feels wrong for 4NT, the Clubs are bad I pass and hope for a miracle Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I would like to bid X followed by 4 club over 3 Spade to show this kind of hand.The obvious advantage is that you are still able to play 3 NT or 3 HEart doubled. If this is a one suiter in your system, or anything else, I would try 4 NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keylime Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 4NT. Doubling gets your into a deserved 4-2 spade fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetb Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 DBL implies you can play in any of the other 3 suits- 4NT is best Move the ♥Q to ♠Q and I would cue-bid 4♥, saying I am up for a possible Minor Suit slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I wish my hand and ♣ were just a bit better, but I do have to go for 4NT here also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shevek Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 4nt and pass 5mI guess most play 4NT for minors but Kaplan for one thought it should be natural, say 23-26 or equivalent. Most would bid 3NT with a flat 25 count, to see partner shrug and pass with a 10-count. Why should you miss your 33 pt 6NT just because someone preempts?I like 4♥ as minors, not Michaels. With a Micahels hand, you can bid 3♠ or double or - ideally - play 4♣/♦ as Michaels.The other big advantage for 4♥ as minors is catching partner with 6 or 7 spades. Having said all that, I would prefer double if partner will take 5♣ over 4♠ to show this, rather than a good 1-suiter. However, the 1-suiter is more common and the normal interpretation I think, meaning "I was hoping you'd bid 3NT" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
