phil_20686 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Playing the bid here as shortage is definitely common among experts in the UK. In my group I don't really know anyone who plays this as a Q outside of scratch partnerships. I would expect a long suit try as default.. The guys comment in an expert game that he wasnt sure if it was long suit or shortage seems quite normal to me. I can easily imagine that I would have said that. Don't think, that many play serious here. 3N is usually showing whichever hands you dont show immediately. So if you play long suit, 3N shows a shortage and 4c asks. If it was 1h p 3H you just move everything down one step. My default is more or less only to play 3N serious when both hands are still poorly defined. When you have defined your hand closely there is no real need for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
