Jeroen71 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 (2S*)-X-(3S**)-3NT * muiderberg, exactly 5 spades, 4+ minor, 6-10 HCP** typically 4 spades, no game interest is 3NT natural here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmilne Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yeah. If you played it as "both minors", for example, you would be giving up playing 3NT (big loss) for some accuracy in which minor to compete to the 4-level in (small gain). If you want to offer a choice of minor suit games, you can bid 4NT. You really do need 3NT to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hoi Jeroen, If 3NT can be natural, it is natural. Here it is definitely possible for 3NT to be natural, what else would you bid with KQ10 Qx AQxxx xxx? 5D is a long way off and most people don't play the double for penalties. (By the way, in my experience, they don't always have 9 spades here.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yup, natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
