Siegmund Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Matchpoints, opps silent. ♠AQxx♥97xxx♦AKx♣x ♠K♥T♦QTx♣AKQJ9xxx Responder was generally afraid to go on after 1C-1H-3NT, and of course passed an overly heavy Gambling 3NT opening. But I wouldn't even be sure what responder's 4-level suit bids mean after 1C-1H-3NT, to be honest. Anybody have cool tools to find this one? 3NT made 8, on the SJ lead (though they only scored it as 520, not 550.) Hearts were Jxx-AKQx with Jxx on lead.

Cyberyeti Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Our 3N denies an outside K so I wouldn't open that, also 1♣-1♥-3N means something else so I can't bid that. My choice is between an over heavy 3♣ or a GF unbalanced 2N over 1♣-1♥, and whether I bid the slam depends on my choice of bids, it's extremely close.

Fluffy Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I don't find the rush to cuebid in support of clubs, you can use 4♣ to start cuebidding and 4♦ as natural. Regardless of that, some pairs have trouble if they have the agreement not to cuebid partner's suit with a singleton. But anyway, 3NT typicially shows weakness in aprtner's suit, and singleton is not an unexpected holding at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lycier Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Responder was generally afraid to go on after 1C-1H-3NT I agree.The crux of the problem is how to define 3nt,for me,the defination of 3nt is 18p+ values with a long solid opening suit,the suit pd respond is 0-1 card and it also promise stoppers in others side suits.So don't need to think about more,bid up to 6♣.
