MrAce Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 MP They are not vul, we are. ♠K7 ♥A ♦J8432 ♣AKQJ8 2♥ - pas - 3♥ - ?2♥ is std weak, 3 ♥ is preemptive No gadgets other than 4NT would be both minors I would bid 4NT, using the gadget that you mentioned and even with flaws due to weak ♦, i have minors and a strong hand. Pd has 3 or less ♥, we are unlikely to be in misfit. My only concern is we maybe missing 6-2 or a good 5-2 ♠ fit, but we cant search for all under all this pressure by opponents. At least pd and i will be in same track, since you said this is the only agreement we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mck4711 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I agree with MrAce: 4NTOne more point: these 2maj-p-3maj preemptive openings are quite common, your competitive bids should carry their meaning after the "sum" of opps action, i.e. X shows the values to double 3H, 3S shows values to bid 3S after 3H, 3NT shows the values of a 3NT bid after a 3H opening. Your hand doesnt fulfill any of these competitive bids, so your only choice is 4NT (ur agreed on convention) - of course with the risk of missing a good game in S. But for this reason your opps preempt, to make ur life difficult, right? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
