What do you rebid with my hand, given our methods? We play 2♥ as an instant double negative (or negative). Five clubs should have no real play (off two aces and I have to play hearts from hand plus a possible spade loser). So my choices are 3♣ which we hadn't discussed as forcing or not, or my choice of a gambling 3NT and hope they can't get 5 tricks before I get in. I didn't think the decision was close. The auction was more scientific at the other table. South rebid 3♣ and north bid 3♦ allowing a more confident 3NT. [/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wank Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 clear 3nt - stiff K is a fair approximation at a stop, more so in a blind auction. trying to get to 5c when it's right is just too optimistic. spades is unlikely to play well - it will be wrong sided and you'll get tapped, potentially killing the club suit.
