mikeh Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 :P 2♠ the first time for reasons well-explained in this thread. After 4♠-double, I too want to run, but how? Expecting pard to treat 4NT as being for minors is too obscure for me, and he is unlikely to have a double ♥ stop. 5♣ seems the least of evils. Does RHO look like a player holding five spades and four clubs? 5♦ puts all our chances in pard having four or five. If I had another king, I might pass and try to brute it out.I don't think any competent player would misunderstand 4N. In fact, if my partner did it, I'd give 10-1 odds that he has exactly this shape and approximately these values. That's not saying I'd run....I have no reason for thinking that 5 of a minor will be better.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 most tables made 10 tricks in NT, while spade contracts were doomed to 9 tricks. Partner had something like ♠KQ10x ♥QJ9x ♦Kx ♣Kxx (not fully sure about the minors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
