Phil Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 From a correspondent. T, Txx, Kx, AKTxxxx. Partner opens 1N - (pass) - 2♠ (clubs). LHO ruins the party with 3♦. Your call over partner's: - pass- 3♥- 4♣ Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mck4711 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 1. vul? - non-vul?2. matchpoint/ imp?3. how strong NT? I suppose the entire bidding was:1NT - p - 2♠ - 3♦p - p - ? I consider:1. pass2. 3nt3. 3♥4. 4♣5. X My personal choice would be 3nt, but I have a closer look at it depending on the answers to especially question 1 and 2. I have good chances to make it, especially if LHO should lead ♦, any ♣-values are well placed. After interference of LHO I cant do everything I would like. So I just take my chances: 3NT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 If pass: 3NT canonical. If 3♥: I suppose this shows 5, so raise to 4. If I'm not sure, just 3NT wtp. If 4♣: yuck. Raise to 5 and good luck. Obviously this assumes LHO has AQ of diamonds. If pard comes up with one of tthose, these actions may be silly :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeegan Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 :P Assuming a 15-17 HCP NT opener:1. after Pass, I would probably shoot it out with 4♣ esp. at matchpoints.2. after 3♥, raise to 4♥.3. after 4♣, raise to 5♣.I would be nice to know more about the situation - vulnerability, type of scoring, state of the match, quality of the opponents, even the feel of the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 1. 3N2. 4♥3. After 4♣ I am going to check for keycards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I would be nice to know more about the situation - vulnerability, type of scoring, state of the match, quality of the opponents, even the feel of the table. It was a speedball. LHO is supposedly good. The colors were all red. I think it was IMPs -= if your answer is different for MPs, say so. Sorry but your 'table feel' depends on the quality of the lacquer of your desk that your monitor sits on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yu18772 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 From a correspondent. T, Txx, Kx, AKTxxxx. Partner opens 1N - (pass) - 2♠ (clubs). LHO ruins the party with 3♦. Your call over partner's: - pass- 3♥- 4♣ Thanks. Over pass - dbl (shows extra, t/o oriented, not penalty) - after all partner has no idea, you could transfer with 0 points.3♥ - raise to 4♥4♣ - 4♠ (Idont show Kx as a control in a suit that was bid by LHO and when the lead is through my hand). Interesting that you dont mention a 3♠ bid as an option :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
