Free Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 6NT is made if you strip East's ♠ and ♥. Then East can try what he wants, he has to play a minor to North, who can make all his ♣s :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 or even the superior 6NT by north on this hand, and they wouldn't like being called liars either.If East holds up the ♣A, does 6NT make? Eric YEs.... Since his partner has the !SQ... Holding up the club ace, it still makes. Ben Yes, you're right. But is 6NT the better contract? My brain stopped working at about 3 o'clock this afternoon, and I can't work out which has a greater chance of success. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 6NT avoids risk of a ruff, but runs a foul of a hold up in clubs on some distributions. I can't imagine south with void in diamonds and north with a void in hearts and with two nine card suit fits people will get to six notrump at imps (at mp, someone might try it)..... of course, one pair bid 6NT in the real world... now that is a contract I wuold say that anyone who tells you they would bid to 6NT would be "liars"... excpet one did it... lol Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 "And ron, as a six club bidder, I don't particularily like being called a liar." It was a joke, Ben. Don't be so touchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
