WrecksVee Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 [hv=pc=n&n=sq8had763ckqj8754&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=p1sp2cp2dp3cp3hp]133|200[/hv] Thank you to everyone who commented on this hand I recently posted. At the table I bid 4♣. Partner bid 4NT. So, is this RKCB for ♣? Or is to play? Something else? FYI in our agreements 4♣ would be forcing. We have no agreeements re Kickback etc. when a minor is trump. It is possible that the ♣ are solid as 1♠-2♣-2♦-4♣ IMO should show some extra value, i.e. be a slam try, besides just the solid suit to justify passing 3NT. Thanks, WrecksVee PS: I did the original post as I was not sure that 4♣ was the best choice. Besides the alternative call of 3♠ I later also wondered about the jump to 5♣. That seemed also to describe the hand and IMO finally got a limit bid into the auction. PPS: Concerning this hand I also posted asking about GAR as the lack of a limit bid in this auction is a flaw. If anyone has any methods or suggestions I would appreciate your ideas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 First to note: 2♣+3♣+4♣ is different (weaker) than 2♣+4♣ (wich imposes the suit) 4NT over 4m natural is normally to play, here it doesn´t look like an exception as whatever partner bids now should be taken as a cuebid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_clown Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I would bid 3♠. 3♥ is fourth suit forcing for me, which means I should describe my hand. Partner knows that I have long ♣, so why not inform him that I got support (with 3♠ I would have bid 2♠ over 2♦)? 3NT with the ace singleton is out of the question for me. After 4♣, 4NT shoould be to play, so I am passing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Strange.. I think I know the hand LOL. Anyway, I think 3♥ asks for some complementary help in hearts to play 3NT. Since I don't fancy my chances in 3NT with these aceless clubs, I'll just bid 5C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
