Cyberyeti Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Yes, you've all rightsided 3N which the two pairs in our match didn't manage. Their auctions were 1♦-1♥-3♦-3N The opposing hands were: [hv=pc=n&s=sq954hkjt5d32ct87&n=sk87h32dqt65caq92]133|200[/hv] I was sorely tempted to double 3N with the N hand, but didn't. Anyway, partner led a spade, I won the K and returned one, declarer played a heart to the 9 and 10, partner returned a diamond which declarer won, cashed the other top diamond discarding a club, played a heart to the Q and K, partner returned a club and the roof fell in, I played 3 rounds of clubs and we then took the rest, 3N-5. I though this was a decent result until team mates managed to come back with 3N-6, I don't know how. Has anybody seen more than 11 undoubled undertricks across 2 tables in a freely bid game ?

fbuijsen Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) The pessimists:1♦ - 1♥ / 3♦ - pass The optimists:1♦ - 1♥ / 3♦ - 3NT The hog:1♦ - 1♥ / 1NT - 2♣* / 3♦ - 3NT EDIT: I see that I managed to post at the exact same time as the "solution'. Oh well. Edited January 13, 2014 by fbuijsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 The singleton diamond and the minimum response seem to be simple reasons to pass. I don't think it is general pessimistic outlook on life or anything resembling "resulting". 1D-1H3D-P Strong Notrumpers should have more problems with this hand. Seems as if the only way to a plus would be if Responder went conservative with a transfer to Hearts and a pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I really don't like these NT bids with 2-2 majors - with 5-5 majors partner is going to bid game in a major, not in NT. Though you're probably safe here since partner responded 1H, not 1S. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 i would begin like fluffy 1d 1h 1n (showing 15-17 balanced assuming the weak NT was 12 14 sigh) 2c asking more info (sort of staymanish) 3d i think the very nice 6 card suit is enough to show here. This bid would neatly define you as much closer to 15 than 17 having failed to bid 3d earlier maybe even a 14 count too strong to open weak 1n. p singleton dia ick jacks ick forget about game and try to survive.

Some partners with 5-5 majors and enough for game can show this below the 4-level and allow Opener to subside in 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was south and a complete beginner at the time and accidentally thought 2NT meant spades and a minor, so I bid 3♠ and partner decided I was strong with spades and so raised. Our opponents gave us plenty of room for this disaster.West led the ace of clubs and switched to a trump. East won the queen, cashed the ace, and ran the queen of hearts, followed by the nine and another to the ten. West cashed the ace of hearts, east discarding a diamond. West led his last heart and I ruffed, finessed in diamonds, and tried to cash the ace. East ruffed and my last trick was the jack of spades for down seven.Partner entered the score, -700, in, but it was not a bottom board because someone went down 8.
