mike777 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 will gamble out 3nt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I can't come up with a viable alternative to 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Partner is going to have an entry and clubs good enough to run? That sounds like 11 tricks in clubs: 7 clubs, three side Aces, plus partner's entry. You might make 5♣ if opener has KQJTxxx of clubs and out (likely not much worse than the diamond finesse) while 3N is pretty hopeless. Looks to me like 5♣ has more going for it than 3N. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 3n is not an option it is a really bad bid. I would just pass but the other alternative would be 5c as timg said. Random system alert...3d over 3c as artificial one of many hands including an invite to 5c 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 3 ♦ to ask for a three card major (or simply asking) coud be right, without this tool, I try 5♣, too many chances of 11 tricks, even opposite a w/r preempt.3 Nt is silly. If you play partner for (say) Kx, xx,xx, KQJxxxx, 6 clubs is great... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I would take the high road of 5♣ unless playing one of the 3♦ gadgets. Do we know anything about partner's preempt style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know anything about partner's preempt style? I would say it is aggressive, but not crazy. I also bid 5♣. Game ended up being on a diamond finesse that failed as we had a club loser opposite QJ109xxx. The other table didn't open 3♣ and played in 1♦ making.

CSGibson Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I would say it is aggressive, but not crazy. Good of you to hold back in a public forum :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
