helene_t Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Without any specialized agreements I would just bid 3NT. A like a 3♦ response showing a GF hand with both minors. Playing four-suit-transfers you don't need a natural 3♦ response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 1N-3D(55 minors, GF)3N(no interest in minors)-pass (fair enough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'd be bidding 1NT-3D-3NT as well (using same gadget as Helene). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I would bid 3N on that hand, my methods for these cater for slightly better hands where there is real slam interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yes you show your hand if you can, or you bid 3NT if you can't. Seems simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'd show minors with another gadget and play 3NT also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Hi, a always, this depends on your system. With no special agreements in place 1NT - 3NT is best,otherwise, if you have a bid to show both minor or askfor p better minor, use it.We play 2NT as 5-5(4) in the minor. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bd71 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Why are we trying to show our hand shape here instead of just bidding 3N? How good a shot do we really have at slam? I'm relatively inexperienced at hand visualization during bidding, but using the general guideline to explore/invite slam if a perfect minimum for partner makes slam laydown...then what is that perfect minimum hand here for partner? I can't find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
