The_Badger Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'd wish you'd only given us the South hand with the bidding, Janis. Knowing the precise cards of the North hand makes it easier to comment. That said, if you don't bid games on the North-South cards or similar hands, you will probably show a deficit in the long run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfi Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Anything but 4S is overthinking the hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, type of scoring, matchpoints or IMPs can be important. Playing IMPs, especially vulnerable, the game bonus makes bidding game attractive even when the contract is not a favorite to make.

LBengtsson Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 4♠. 6/2 fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 4s You know where at least 9 of partners cards are and the promise of a good suit (nicely filled in with your Jx) puts us at worst 9 tricks on a high probability of success club finesse. Yes indeed we might have 4 losers and no play but that seems horribly unreasonable unless advancer is bidding with something like AQT9xx xx xx Kxx almost any other holding will give us a game so we go with the odds. Who knows maybe someday the spade finesse will work and trumps break 32 hehe haha roflmao :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I'd add that 3 NT can be a very iffy contract. With the fit jump showing 9+ cards in the black suits, it's more likely that partner will be short in ♥. If the opponents begin with the likely ♥lead, then 3 NT will need to have 9 running tricks to be made. Since OP indicated that with a solid ♠ suit, other bids than a fit jump were available, there's no assurance those 9 running tricks exist.
