gwnn Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Pass is fine here. Partner is known to be short in spades but he didn't double, so we will rarely make 3NT (and we will not be able to find 4-4 heart fits if we bid 3NT). Meanwhile, they are vulnerable and defending undoubled can still get us a nice score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamHenry Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 At IMPs:A lot depends on how aggressively you double in direct seat. With a lot of my partners, something like x/Kxx/QJxxx/KQxx will not act over 3♠, and I find it difficult to construct a layout where you can't make 3NT opposite. Sure, this is a perfect maximum, but it makes game 100%. At MPs: how many defensive tricks do we have? There's one spade (maybe two), one heart, one club; if partner's broke then oppo have likely missed game; if he's got pocket change we're beating their partscore, and if he's got enough for 3NT we can probably hold them to 7 tricks or fewer. I would probably bid 3NT at the table, but then I play in a weak field where oppo will set up suits for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
