gwnn Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 nah I pass. I hope they go down. I'd like just a little more in diamonds for a 3NT bid. I don't like bidding 4m unless it's an opening bid or it's artificial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crunch3nt Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Most players, including me, just don't have the discipline for a pass, at this vulnerability, so 3NT it is. kfay, I thought we all played 4D as 5/5 D&H these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Even if 4♦ is natural it's silly, it's pass or 3NT here. I'll try it, 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfay Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'd hate to go down in 3NT and be cold for 6♦ though. Furthermore it can't be as silly as pass. Sure the first instance isn't particularly likely, but 3NT does happen to cost a lot in undertricks.... people don't often factor that into their IMP odds I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 why would they factor in imp odds at pairs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 horrible situation to be in. oh well, 3NT No its not! Your teammate is opening 3♠ and your counterpart is bidding 4♦. Win 10 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I thought pass was pretty clear, did everyone notice this was matchpoints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 3NT expects partner to have S:10xx for a 2nd stop??DK onside with 3S preemptor?? S:7312 so RHO is disconnected??5xC with Q + H:AKQ?? Or D:AKx?? I'm not that rosey eyed!! PASS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszeszycki Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 3Nwhat do i need to make a game? well if p has say xx AJ9x Axx xxxx we should have great play for 3n and we might not even set 3s. I would much rather gamble on 3n then worry about missing analmost impossible to bid minor suit slam. I admit i would run from an x to 4d also. it is a guess that is why opps preempt but being too much of a coward is bad at allforms of bridge.

mikegill Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Obviously anything you do could look silly. You could pass and find partner with Kxx Axxx AKxx xx where 7d is cold. You could bid 3n or 4d and find that his hand is QT AQxxxx Jx xxx (his actual hand) and he bids 4h and goes down 3 mercifully undoubled. My thinking at the time was that pass may be the percentage bid because there's a reasonable chance that the total trick count has already been overbid, but honestly I think this one is probably a guess. You do need kind of a lot from partner to make 3NT given how bad your diamonds are (not to mention you need partner to show up with either another spade stopper or LHO to show up with no side entry, and that's assuming he has 7 spades, which he may not).
