Henrywong Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 EW vulsouth dealer3♦-P-P-? East Holding:♠K92♥863♦A6♣AKQ42 There are about 6 top winners, ♦stopper and good 3-3 holdings in majors. What will you bid? 3NT or Dbl?

kenrexford Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Double, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbsboy Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I think I will double then rebid 3NT if partner bid 3M, since I would have bid 3NT with hands of equivalent playing strength and wrong shape to double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromageGB Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I don't think 3NT comes into it. I see 4 top winners, and lots of losers as soon as I have lost a trick. Double, certainly. The difficulty comes when partner bids 3M, do you pass or bid 4 ? I think the purity of the hand says 4 is a decent shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 X. Given that your stopper is just Ax, double seems to be superior to 3NT. If p bids 3M, I will pass. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 For these hands they invented the idea that X and 3 NT is not stronger then a direct 3 NT call but more flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 X, and then make a guess if partner bids 3M. I mean guess between pass or bidding 3NT over partner's 3M. No need to X then raise to 4M, since by X first then offering 3NT, I already showed a flexible hand (should have 3-card support in M), so partner knows to bid 4M when it is right.
