hrothgar Posted July 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 MOSCITO auction 3♥ - 3NPass 3H asks for slam points3N shows 7 It seems prudent to stop low rather than looking for a cross ruff in 6♠(Curious whether anyone else will decide differently) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straube Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 For Straube 3♠-3N 3S is end signal and 3N shows 6-8. Maybe I'm conservative, but I usually want 21 QPs for these misfit hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awm Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 ... 3♦ (shape)3♥ - 3NT (QP ask, 7 QP) It's hard to visualize a slam here without a fit and missing either an ace or the heart king. I'd just pass 3NT. Note that opposite 8 QP we could find AJxx K Axxxx xxx which has reasonable play; add a queen and it's really quite good.

akhare Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Relay Responder♠ AT75♥ 6♦ AQT43♣ 954 Relay Asker♠ KQ2♥ AQT94♦ 82♣ AKJ ...3♦ With the hands not meshing very well, slam is a stretch unless we have a combined total of 20+ QPs. Since responder will zoom on @ 4+♣ with 3 QPs above base, we have a choice of asking for QPs or just signing off in 3N. In this case, it seems marginally better to just bid 3N and declare the hand (if possible). Note that since the auction would have terminated at 3N after an ask since 3♠ is 5/6QPs. ...3N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I would just bid 3Nt. Need a stiff J of H and some extras for slam to be good. On a bad day i can see 4Nt going down. -------------------------- 1C-1H (strg,S w or GF)1S-2C (at least 3S 15-20, D GF2D-3C (no voids,4153) Here also I would probably just bid 3nt but keyc is S is reasonnable since ill be playing the hand and expect a non-D lead. meth 13H- 4C (2noQ)4D (KofD)---4H (no)4S Meth 23H--4C (2 aces and even number of KQs)4D--4H (KofD)---4H (no)4S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 For me, shape is shown with 3♦. Issue here is that we can't find out about ♥K after a QP ask, and since we don't have a fit, I don't think QP ask is a good way to start. The alternative is to RKC in some suit, but then we might get issues trying to signoff. So I'll just signoff and see if partner can zoom. 3♦-3♠3NT-pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
