BunnyGo Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 All white, third seat: KQ9, KQ64, AK532, 3 P-(3S)-??? I passed (I hated it too....) partner reopened with a double, I sat for it, and we set it 2 tricks. Comments? Thoughts? Ridicule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 3NT for me but I don't like it much. I agree with passing the double at IMPs. 300 is likely and we could get more. But at matchpoints 300 is not enough so I would bid unless I needed a top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 3NT looks obvious to me (on the first round, abstain on the second round). Partner is a passed hand but still rates to have enough for us to make game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I would certainly bid 3NT the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I can double and pull a ♣ response to ♦ without showing the world's fair by agreement (same level conversion). We could make a whole bunch of either red suit. That said, I'm bidding 3nt on this one as a shot but a practical one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2000magic Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'd double, then bid 4♦ over 4♣, showing ♦ & ♥. Three notrump isn't a bad bid, but I'd fear that we'd be missing a better game (or slam) in a red suit. You pays your money and you takes your chances.

MrAce Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 3 NT for me also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyGo Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks for the responses, I did consider 3NT, but wasn't sure I had enough tricks in hand opposite a passed hand (especially with the stiff club). As you can see 3NT would have been bad, but 4♥ or 5♦ quite good. We won a few IMPs when the other table tried slam, but I still wasn't happy with my bids. Thanks for the suggestions.

"3NT would have been bad" A mild understatement.... (Please note, I'm just commenting on the lie of the cards, not on any of the above posters' bidding...)
