PrinceNep Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I find this argument way inconsistent. We have established that partner in fact said "You should pull to 4M". That story does not coincide with an assumption that partner was taking a risk based on the results and knew he needed a top. Those stories contradict each other. This would lead me to believe that your partner feels his hand is perfectly acceptable for a 3NT call and in the future assumes you will pull accordingly. If that is truly the case, then a discussion needs to take place between you and your partner on what a 3NT bid over a multi 2♦ means. Otherwise, we have no indication of when partner is showing a particular hand or taking a risk and that will always put us to a guess which is the worst thing we can do in bridge. It seems unlikely to me that your partner felt he was making a matchpoint top attempt, since his statement doesn't back that up. You are probably giving him the benefit of the doubt for his action and attempting to justify it (and what a good partner for doing that), but the facts don't back that story. Just my perspective, but the result is that you need to have a discussion on what is an acceptable bid of 3NT over 2♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Prince, of course it is entirely possible to use a non common approach for a 3 NT bid. But why should we? And how will opener ever be in a position to judge whether it is right to pull? Sorry, this is a much worse approach then the standard one.
