Name the contract you want to be in...is 3N worth the risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 What's this all about? I got 25, long suits and stops. How can I avoid bidding to 3NT? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Looking at both hands, I'd rather be in a minor suit partial. A heart lead will almost always set 3NT (okay you can make if ♣Q is doubleton and the spade finesse wins). Even if you don't get a heart lead, it seems like you will usually concede a club and get a heart switch, at which point you will need the spade finesse (and clubs 3-2, and not RHO winning the club and the heart ace offside). This just seems like lousy odds. With that said, it's easy to imagine bidding to 3NT in a real auction, and I wouldn't complain too much about reaching game on 25 high with every suit stopped.

aguahombre Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Of course a minor partial is where I want to be looking at both hands, but we will be in 1NT by South or 3NT by South. 1NT is 8-10, we are in 3. 1NT is 6-10, we might be in one.
