After you double an pre-empt


Recommended Posts

Sitting North, West opened 2 and I held

 

[hv=d=w&v=e&s=sakhkdkqt3cakjt86]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv]

 

I doubled, LHO passes, and partner bids 3, RHO passes

 

What should I do next? I know I want to go to game but which one and how do I check to see if slam is there?

Assuming you play Lebensohl then 3h promises around 8-9 hcp often.

Now I would just jump to 6c....6nt at MP if very greedy but I think 6c should be ok.

 

Bidding 4c or 3s forcing is nice but afraid of just confusing the issue and not getting much more useful info.

 

Bidding 3nt seems a bit chicken hearted but not terrible.

If you want a game only, then bid 3NT. If you use Lebensohl, then as mike said, gamble 6C.
