mtvesuvius Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 3N, I'm just afraid of losing the first two spade tricks when I double, and inevitably losing another two. I don't like 3N but it seems like the least of evils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohitz Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I voted for double. It seems to me that for 3N to be right, we need to have 9 top tricks else they will always be able to run spades. Double requires less from partner. I am not sure what I would do if partner bids 4 of a minor. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooltuna Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Normally would prefer to try 3NT but if the auction is believable I won't have time to develop any side suit tricks so I will need 9 off the top and odds are long on that so I would try X for a try at 4♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bftboy Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I hate this one. Dbl, I guess. Hard to get 9 tricks before they get theirs unless p has a long minor or a perfect 10 or so hcp. I think the chance that maybe P leaves x in and we get a good score that way persuades me to x. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 3nt. 2 minor queens is enough to expect 3nt to come home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 3NT, don't see any other alternative. Preempts (sometimes) works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 3NT, I have the ♠ stopper so I should bid 3NT. Dbl commits us to playing wrongsided in a suit - bleh! - or letting them play 3♠x for whatever random result we may achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
