antonylee Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 All's in the title... What do you play over (3X)-3NT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Two under transfers e.g. 4c-> hearts to give p room to superaccept without forcing to the 3level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 It would be nice also to have a way to show specific twosuiters with and without slam interest. I haven't given it much thought. Maybe Phil King has :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 4C asks on what 3NT was based - a long running suit or a strong bal handBid the suit or bid 4 theirs or 4NT strong bal4D - t/f to H4H - t/f to S 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 With a former partner I played: (3m) 3NT (pass) ?? 4♣ = 55 majors4♦/♥ = transfer4♠ = 4441 (sing m) slammish4NT = quant (3M) 3NT (pass) ?? 4♣/4♦/♥ = transfer. Transfers into opening major = michaels style 2-suiter4♠ = 4441 (sing m) slammish4NT = quant (The 4♠ bid is somewhat dangerous if pard forgets it lol.) This assumed 3NT was made on a balanced or semibalanced hand. If the 3NT overcall can be made on running suits + singletons, Ron's scheme is perhaps better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrexford Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'm just thinking here. 4C as one or both majors. Partner bids 4D if he prefers spades.4D asking type. 4NT strong balanced. 4M flags long minor.4M natural but ongoing (4C option is weaker).4M if cue both minors. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kungsgeten Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Our 3NT system is: 4♣ = Baron (bid 4+ suits down up, if a fit is found respond key cards at five level, 4NT tells no more suits)4♦ = Puppet to 4♥4♥/♠ = 5+ suit, forcing (4NT denies slam interest, 5-level shows key cards)4NT = Quantitative5♣/♦ = Non-forcing slam try After the puppet to 4♥:pass/4♠/5m = To play4NT = Ace asking We have not defined what a cue bid would mean.

Quick question. As 3NT can be on a long running suit or a strong balanced hand, how does your method allow you to distinguish the difference?I bid 3NT over 3C onKAKQJxxxAXAxxand many similar hands.

whereagles Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 only 3NT on that? I'd be giving a straight 6♥ serious consideration http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kungsgeten Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Quick question. As 3NT can be on a long running suit or a strong balanced hand, how does your method allow you to distinguish the difference? Our methods does not allow us to distinguish the difference. It is probably better to play something like what PhilKing suggests, instead of Baron. Out methods came from a system over a situation where partner has shown a really big NT-hand, like 2♣ (strong)-2♦ (waiting); 3NT (25-27).

awm Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 4♣ = asking strength/type4♦ = some GF two-suiter4M = long suit, to play After 4♣:... 4♦ = min (16-18)... 4♥ = better (19-21)... 4♠ = very strong (22+)... 4N = running suit and stoppers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 What we play might not be the best, but it gives us enough tools for a decent continuation imo. Since it's quite a rare auction, we prefer something simple:4♣ = baron (asks to bid 4 card suits up the line)4♦ = transfer ♥ (to ♣ if opps suit is ♥)4♥ = transfer ♠ (to ♣ if opps suit is ♠)4♠ = transfer ♦ (to ♣ if opps suit is ♦) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
