Codo Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 You obviously do not have 3 ♣ as invitational with two top honours avaiable. I would bid 3 NT. Making or down 4... :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 If I can transfer to clubs and partner can preaccept with a fit, that is what I would do. If partner does not preaccept, I sign off in 3♣, possibly missing a game. Otherwise, I just shoot out 3NT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 3NT. AQxxxx is usually worth five tricks - Jx or xxx is enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 3 NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 3NT is obvious. If pard declines an invitational 3C, then - - we may well still be making 3NT- If 3NT goes off, 3C may be off as well Inviting would be more attractive if we had a stiff, at least then 3C would have a greater chance of making if passed.

inquiry Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 IMPS, non vul... I would bid 2♠ and if partner doesn't show fit and stuff, i will settle for 3♣. This is harder if we were vulnerable, I probably would try 3nt directly. The rbig concern is if partner is doubleton small in clubs, my wonderful hand might take exactly one trick!!! ON the other hand, vul, partner might stretch a super accept of clubs, so perhaps I should follow same strategy at both. if i have 3♣ availalbe to show six card suit to KQ, AQ, or AK, then of course I use that at both vulnerabilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I was very happy when I saw partner's hand, he had ♠xxx♥AKJ♦KQxxx♣Kx JC led a heart away from ♥Qxxx and I could see 9 fast tricks, but my happinnes didn't last when clubs turned to be 4-1 In the closed room MickyB opener a light 1♦ overcalled with 1NT, and the serbian player with my cards was happy to settle te contract in 2♣ making 3.
