ibraves Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I think this one is genuinely tough.

mike777 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 too good for 2nt but note that both 6h and 6c are down so.....I expect some to miss out on 6nt. I suppose south could just blast to 6nt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasetb Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I put some blame on North. That hand is worth 24 points, even at NT (Goren would have upgraded that to 23 for sure). I can't really blame South too much, West was a nutjob and they lucked out in finding a good landing spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Presumably 3♥ over the X would show 3, with KJ I might be inclined to do that, but I'd also echo that this is not a 2N opener, it's too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mis-describing strong hands leads to bad results Rainer HerrmannThe problem is to look for a bidding to 6NT : opening 2♣ (and applying Reese convention yet ) is easy to get 6 ♥ or ♣.

whereagles Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I wouldn't have opened 2NT (too strong, too offshape), but that's probably not the only reason for missing out on 6NT. I think I would blame it on "stuff happens". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
