bluecalm Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Looks like the easiest 1NT ever. You have proper strength, shape and you want to play NT from this hand to put the overcaller on lead (which is important for example if the spades are Jxx - A9. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Looks like a very easy x. This leaves most options open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalldonn Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 1NT, if I double and partner bids a suit then I.... well I have no idea which is why I bid 1NT and show my strength right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Clearcut 1Nt. Im normally in the X rather than 1Nt camp but here its a textbook example on how to endplay yourself for a tough 2nd decision. 1Nt will avoid most future problems.

TWO4BRIDGE Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Part of the Neg-DBL convention is to DBL when partner has NOT made a Neg-DBL... However, at these colors, if pard does have a trump stack, do you really think you can make 800 at 1♠X ( 10 tricks for your side ) because you probably have missed a Vul game.

lalldonn Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I can think of three reasons not to worry about getting 1♠ for penalties. The vul is wrong.Partner is not likely to have a penalty pass when we have A9 doubleton of spades compared to if we have a singleton.The fact we have two instead of one spade increases the odds they would have somewhere useful, in which case we have complicated our auction.

the hog Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 1NT, if I double and partner bids a suit then I.... well I have no idea which is why I bid 1NT and show my strength right away. I accept this point, but the possession of the 3 card H suit sways me to double.How many people would rebid 1NT on AQx x Kxxx AKQxx ? Now you have problems if pd has a weak hand with 5H and transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalldonn Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Who would play transfers after the 1NT rebid? That seems really goofy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 x if p has a spade stack (and we have a game) we have a tremendous chance of setting this 800+ since declarer will have to play out of their hand the whole time and if p has nothing but good long spades being in 1sx might be our only chance for a positive score. X also gives us 3 relatively safe places to play if p cannot stand the x where a 1n might already be bad and leaves us only hearts as a safe haven when p is weak and has at least 5 hearts. I p can back in with a 1n bid we have enough stuff to bid 3n (as long as they are not from the school of spadestop I dont need no stinking spade stop I have 8 balanced points and Iam bidding 1n).

You won't be happy if he does this on 5 poor.Btw transfers here allow the strong hand to be declarer, so I don't think it is a goofy idea.

Partner could be 3145 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
