Hanoi comments: "After West opens the bidding, N/S will find difficult to choose the strain (NT/D) and the level (part-score/game) and a little more so if North overcalls 1NT on this atypical 4333, for the methods may not be enough to get to the right contract. 3D, 10; 4D, 7; 5D, 5; 1NT, 6; 2NT, 5; 3NT, 3"[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 What is atypical about a 1N overcall with the North hand Our auction was (1♣) - 1N - (P) - 2N(P) - 3♣ - (P) - 3N we expect all sorts of company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgoodwinsr Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hanoi may be saying he thinks the hand isn't strong enough to overcall 1NT -- a sentiment with we agree, although we did bid 1NT at the table. It seems a little hard to stay out of 3NT after that, so we imagine Richard is right about having a lot of company there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I didn't have a diamond invite available so just bid 2NT as south. I considered simply signing off in diamonds. It's clear to me that simply bidding 3NT must be wrong in a bidding contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I considered overcalling 1S or X since it was a bidding contest, but my first attempt at that was to open 3C on board 1 and miss an easy grand, so I decided I suck at operating in this thing so I'll play it straight lol.

Free Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 The values in ♦ are not good enough to consider 3NT, even if partner super accepts. I decided to bid 3NT because it was a bidding contest, but it didn't work. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Be amused if anybody gets to 4♠ at MPs, assuming, possibly rashly, that opener has both aces, you need little more than a 2-2 diamond break and 4-3 spade break to make 4♠ and outscore 5♦.
