jjbrr Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I would expect partner to have hearts. I think playing NT systems on in this auction is fine. With that said partner needs to be sort of careful about the kinds of hands he bids 4D with, assuming we have agreed to play systems on. The 3NT bid can be made on, for example, a long running suit and a diamond stopper and an otherwise unbalanced hand, so with lots of hands with only 5 hearts or 6 bad hearts or whatever it's probably fine to play in NT rather than insist on playing in a suit contract.

gszes Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 transfer to hearts but be careful before using this because a 3n bid does not have to be a balanced powerhouseso make sure your hearts are of decent quality QT98xx at least and if vul maybe a tad better.

bluecalm Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hearts and at least slight slam invite; signoffs go to 4c (forcing 4d). It also make both natural 4NT and rkcb available in this sequence which is very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 it is the same as 3♦-3NT-pass-4♦, and for me the same as 3x-3NT-pass-4♦ wich is a transfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
