pescetom Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Just when you needed Gerber...yes, that old-fangled gadget for checking aces.looks like an example constructed to prove its worth :) But if you play 3S as a gadget for minors then you should be able to keycard in clubs, which would be even better here (although if he happens to have only 2 which is just possible with our 2nt then you are going to look silly).

pigpenz Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 ran this one through the simulatordefintely one to be playing something like walsh transfers....3♠ relay to 3nt then describe hand afterwardsbut contract definetly should be played by 2NT hand to protect a King on lead.....% wise best contract is 5♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 % wise best contract is 5♦Sounds odd to me.Actual numbers?How did you define 2NT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhasbeen Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 I'm curious as to why none of you play in ACBL Daylong games. Seems like a knowledgeable group. s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen_nyc Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I had a similar issue recently. I opened 2NT and robot partner held QJTxxxxx and absolutely no entries. It might have been all right if I'd held xxx, but I held AK tight. 5C was cold but 3N went down. The robots don't seem to be programmed to understand the value of playing in a really long suit when it's a minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
