Aces are undervalued?


Recommended Posts

What game contract is likely with your "opener" opposite partner's 1 NT rebid?

 

I think a couple things favor bidding 3 NT --

 

- neither opponent found a 1 overcall even though the auction went 1 - 1

 

- partner has to have at least 2 s, else another rebid would have been made.

since you have no viable alternative to NT if your side is going to bid a game

there is really no sense to gimmicking around with any bids other than 2n or 3n

 

at IMPS this is an automatice 3N since 40% games are almost the norm these days.

 

At MP we prefer to have good play and now our bid is dependent on partnership

opening style. If we are very light openers 2n should suffice but otherwise I

would bid 3n since 3n rates to be a very common contract and if we decide

to pass 1n we are gambling not really trying to play bridge. The worry about

hearts seems unjustified both opps had a low level opportunity to mention hearts

so most likely they are not a problem.
