benlessard Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 JT9xAT7xJxxKx and partner showned 3145 18-22 partner bid S before you so hes going to play 4S (defense will be almost double dummy) But if you play 3Nt they will know nothing of your hand (only that you have 8+pts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgoetze Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Can you come up with a hand for partner where 4S makes and 3NT doesn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 If partner has AKQxAKxxQJT9x Then depending on how we guess to hold up the heart suit, we can go wrong and lose 4 hearts and the AC, while we only have 6 top tricks. Spades is petty safe with the short heart hand able to ruff. There are other layouts like having a wide open diamond suit with no other losers where 3NT may fail, but i view those as much much less likely.

JLOGIC Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 3N. I don't see partner having AKQ of spades as a likely layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Doesn't matter who declares, with these distributions and strength 3NT WTP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 partner bid 3nt WTP and I was thinking that it might be close. But its isnt 3Nt has 99% of success vs 93% for 4S. opener going to have a stiff honnor slightly under 50% of the times wich is way higher than i was expecting.

mgoetze Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 opener going to have a stiff honnor slightly under 50% of the times wich is way higher than i was expecting. Doesn't really surprise me. Think of it this way: Opps have 9-13 HCP, and only 8 of their 26 cards are hearts, so it's not really a given that they have ♥KQJ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
