luke warm Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 i don't think this is anyone's fault.. you're playing weak nt evidently, south bid leb, you bid 3c, he passed... so what if 3nt was cold *this* time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 14-16, but I'd open that 1 15-17 NT with all those 10s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceptic Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 I cant say 4 aces and 2 kings is always a cold 3nt (it may be this time, but I bet the odds are against you, just one card adrift on clubs and after a major lead you are probably down, I think 3 clubs is a good contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Lebensohl (and other similar methods) allow you to differentiate between two types of hand - strong and non-strong. Unfortunately there are three types of hand that you may hold in a competitive auction - weak, invitational and strong - and so you have to decide which two to show. Most of us agree that it's best to have a strong sequence, and so we chose between dropping the weak or invitational single-suited hand. My choice is to show invitational hands and not have a mechanism to show weak ones - however it would be a stretch (inspired?) to call this one invitational with such poor club pips. I guess you are probably giving up on the invitational hands (otherwise partner may have shown club acceptance) - both methods are eminently playable but it is just worth checking you have the same agreement :blink: I wouldn't be too worried about missing this game.

P_Marlowe Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Nobodys fault. 2NT was bid with the intention to sign off in 3C? This let to a perfect part score. wtp? With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
