GrahamJson Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yes, I originally wrote "Hamman" but it got auto-corrected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpeak948 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think you must bid. The only bid you can do is 3nt. I dont understand why someone said 4 club? Your partner have a opening hand and ask you to bid...what do you do when your boss ask you a question? Normally, you answer? Thats the same thing. If your p dont like your 3 nt because he has no stopper and his hand is very minimum, he will adjust. Dont be chicken...if 3 D is a really weak open he has not more than 1 entry in his hand...

Phil Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Why is it that I can always tell from the comments when a thread gets linked in the MBC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikestar13 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Definitely a Hamman's Law case. 3NT. I rather like calling the 3NT bid "Hamman's Hammer": alliterative and evokes the image of "Thor's Hammer". Comparing Bob Hamman's stature as a bridge player to Thor's stature as a Norse god (or an Avenger, for us Marvel fans), ai'nt much of an overbid.

blackshoe Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Even Hamman couldn't pick up Mjölnir. B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiros Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'll say for the purposes of the thread that 3NT is my choice, but my action at the table might depend on whatever information I happen to have about West's impression of our partnership's caliber. (i.e. I could be more inclined to pass if I got the feeling that his third-seat preempt was an attempt to run us.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Why is it that I can always tell from the comments when a thread gets linked in the MBC? It's called the law of total posts, a function of total posts of posters and number of posters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanoff Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yes the correct bid was 3NT and maybe next time I'd get it right. Perhaps I'd been softened up by East who earlier in the set, valued xx Jx QJ98x Qxxx as a weak 2. 3NT is still tricky as on 2 top diamonds you'd probably duck and later have to pick up clubs for 1 loser.
