aguahombre Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 At first I liked 4C, then I stopped to think...dangerous for me. RHO's non raise suggests partner has 3+spades, thus 7 or 8+ major suit cards, and so I just bid 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 4♣ because I have clubs. RHO's silence doesn't mean anything to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 4♣. I think it's quite close as far as picking the best game, but 4♣ is better on the slam hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I like 3N. It seems we need a magical diamond holding for 6m. A lot of our hand is in a doubleton, and even our stiff is across from some strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluecalm Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I think 3NT is much better than anything else.Partner may still have 5(6?) hearts for his negative double. They didn't raise spades so he has 2-3-4 spades with 3 being the most common holding.I think I slam will not be in sight often enough and we may end up in something silly if he has : J7xx AQTx J9x xxQTx KQTxx 9x Qxx or even something stronger like :xx AQ8xx A9x xxx That being said I accept that sometimes slam is a laydown and often 5 in a minor is making along with 3nt...

P_Marlowe Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hi, I would go with 3C, which is certainly a bid with brakes on, but partnerknowes, that I am in a tough spot. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Tough between 3NT and 4♣, I like 4♣ with the higher upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dake50 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Which to do first? Show 2xS-stops ->3NT or Bid out this interesting shape? I like 4C if I can 4NT showing S-stops. If 4NT is artificial, 3NT now. It is a jump. Maybe partner sees D-AK golden for slam try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 3NT now. It is a jump. Maybe partner sees D-AK golden for slam try. Yep, with a chunky diamond fit and original game values, partner will be pulling 3NT for slam. There are club slams that might be missed, but I am sticking with the jump to 3NT. Partner is not barred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
