Gotta pay off somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 lol give up 4m natural to gain 4NT blackwood. sounds pretty brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 lol give up 4m natural to gain 4NT blackwood. sounds pretty brilliant I see it as giving up 4m natural to gain M/m two suiters and m/m two suiters and giving up a cue which would leave the minor unknown (if M/m) in case of further competition. 4N blackwood not really a big deal, one way or the other.

jjbrr Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 if 4m is natural, 4M is M+m. You give up 4m natural to gain 4NT blackwood and M+m where you know the minor right away. This has been discussed on the forums before iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Of course if you can show the M+m then you are in far better shape when you get such a hand. So I think you are talking nonsense Jeremy, it is not a tradeoff blackwood vs showing a minor at all. Having said that, I slightly prefer 4m natural and would never play 4NT natural. And I agree that this has been discussed many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Does anyone play NLM over 3S but not over 3H - because you can bid 4H Michael's and still play in 4S? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Does anyone play NLM over 3S but not over 3H - because you can bid 4H Michael's and still play in 4S? Yes, I once agreed to that. I think it was because I wanted to play NLM and my partner didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
