bd71 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 [hv=pc=n&s=sj7hkq5dak853ca73&n=sqt9542haj742dcq6&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=p3dpp]266|200[/hv] Matchpoints. You can expect East to have a traditional/solid 3D pre-empt, even non-vul. Questions: 1. Would you have done something in direct seat as South? 2. As shown above as North, do you commit your side to a major-suit game? 3. As South, if you initially passed and partner shows the majors and commits to game, what are your thoughts on slam? If North's bid is 4♦ showing majors, what would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 1) I bid 3nt as South. Pass will bring +150 too often. 2) Yes, but then I opened 1S 3). I have an effective 10 count, p has a 10 count. I bid 4H and hope to not get doubled... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 #1 yes, how about 3NT?#2 ..., first reaction was no, why should I, but I have to, to find the right fit.#3 why should I dream about slam? partner is a passed hand. Given that he forced to game, he his 5/5 6/5, but still the answer is no. But I would not be in this place. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahydra Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Wow, quadruple post followed by triple post. WTF?? Agree with 3NT as South. I imagine (3D)-3NT-(p)-4D shows both majors (what else could it mean...) so that's North's ideal bid, and we end in 4H. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I definitely bid 3N as south. As north, I would indeed have bid 4D over south's pass As south, if I had passed and north had bid 4D, I would commit us to slam, since I don't have a good way to find out about losers in the majors. If 4N were 6KCBW over 4D, I would employ that. A little unlucky on this deal. Had south bid 3N, though, we would be in fine shape, as north would have bid 4S or 4D (pick).

CSGibson Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I would bid 3♠ as N, S would bid 3N, N would bid 4♥, and S would pass. There is no need to move toward slam as S with 7 points in diamonds, and opposite a passed hand partner, with a preempt indicating possible bad splits, and a decent chance of a ruff on opening lead. I don't mind michaels, but I feel like partner will choose hearts with 2-2, so I want to bid my suits in length order. If partner does not raise or correct to 3N, then I am probably happy to be in 3♠ anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_clown Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I am certainly not bidding 3N as South. Partner has a stiff/void ♦ and if he has some values he will surely act. If he doesnt I will take my +100 and move on. Cant imagine we can make 3N if partner doesnt find a bid, suits will be breaking poorly and there is no source of tricks in sight. after 3♦-p-p I think I would try 4♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
