Hanoi5 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 All red, you receive: ♠AKQ98♥A3♦KJ42♣K5 3♦-3NT-Pa-5♣Pa-??? Do you agree with 3NT? What hand do you picture your partner having? What's your call now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolvyrj Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 No i dont agree with 3 Nt, hand is too strong and so is my shape. And look what happened, prd bid 5 ♣. Now im guessing what is right; since 4 ♣ would have been forcing too IMO, 5 ♣ must promise at least six card suit and wheter or not prd hopes that i have K of ♣ slam must have some possibilities so i will bid it, 6 ♣.

whereagles Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Even though a diamond ruff seems impossible, I think I'd stick to my gut feeling of 6NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I am ok with 3NT. Would probably have doubled but w/e. Now I pass. Yes I have 20 points but beyond that my hand is not that great for a club slam and 5♣ is not encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menggq Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 If u hv some choices to bid,3N is one of them bid 3N wd be the best.For this hand u hv three choices probably:3♠\DBL\3N.obviously PD almost doesnt hv ♦ stopper,if u bid 3♠ or DBL,PD wd bid something over 3N.It's not easy to decide which bid wd be the best after 5♣. 6♣?7♣?6N?PASS?

gnasher Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I agree with 3NT. I can't see what double is supposed to achieve, or what you're going to bid on the next round. dbl-3♥-3NT shows a flexible hand, suggesting 3-card heart support and a single diamond stop. Dbl-3♥-3♠ will never get us to 3NT and may not get us to game. Dbl-4♣-4♠ also doesn't get us to 3NT. When partner bids 5♣ opposite my 3NT, I pass. If he had ♣AQxxxx, he would pass 3NT. 5♣ is likely to be a long, topless suit without a side entry, that is a hand which he thinks will be useless in 3NT. eg x Jxxx x QJ10xxxx or x Jxx x QJ10xxxxx.

ahydra Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 It's a bit heavy for 3NT but I'd like a 6th spade to double then bid spades. Perhaps you could double and bid NT, but you're probably still going to end up in 5C by the sound of it. I pass 5C - it's a weak bid, so if you bid 6 you may well be off two cashing aces (if the other diamonds are 1-1). ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I think you have to pass 5♣. Yes 6♣ may well make if either partner or leader is void in diamonds, but QJ to lots clubs is his most likely holding. I have no problems with the 3N bid.

dake50 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Contrast <3D> 3N <P> 4C. Then slamming.With <3D> 3N <P> 5C.Did partner have an option to differentiate his choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 3N very reasonable call and probably best btnx 3s 3n after 5c have to PASS. p did not pull from 3n lightly and I would not be surprised to seea hand similar to xx xx x Qxxxxxxx.xx xx x Axxxxxxx would be good enoughto bid 4c and try for slam.

MrAce Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 All red, you receive: ♠AKQ98♥A3♦KJ42♣K5 3♦-3NT-Pa-5♣Pa-??? Do you agree with 3NT? What hand do you picture your partner having? What's your call now? - I agree with 3 NT -Passing 5♣ or bidding on totally depends on the style of 5♣ bidder. When i first joined to forums i argued 2 similar hands for passing, because in my style 5♣ means "pd if u have everything i need maybe we can make it and in 3 NT my hand is trickless" However when i asked to some very good players, majority of them plays such 5 minor jumps contructive. So if your pd is someone like me pass, if your pd is a believer of "no gambling 5 minor bids except than saving" then i think you could bid on with this.

the hog Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Agree. I think that pass is clear. I second that and also agree with the original 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Even if partner had xx Kxxx x AQxxxx, you would need trumps to break 3=2 (with LHO having three). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 3Nt/pass 3Nt can be bid quite heavy so i have extras but nothing to get excited. Partner bid is really not foward going. Hes mostly saying taht from his side 5C look better tahn 3Nt thats all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
