If anyone still thinks 3 is even a remote possibility please scroll up and read the posts of Phil, Timo and mcphee.

I like to think that I am a good and understanding partner, but if the person opposite me bids 3 on this I may throw the cards in his face.

My scores:

1N -10
2N - 6
2-5
1-4
2-2
3NT-1
3-1


If you throw the cards in my face, we are going to have a serious problem.

I think this is quite likely to be a 26-count part score, even opposite Hx of hearts.

Therefore 3 or 2 are too much (if you bid 2 you can't drop partner's likely 2 bid, and the auction will often wind on to something unmakeable).

1NT is sensible if it shows 6-9, as it usually does in the UK. I have an idea that it's played a fair bit stronger in the USA (is it?) which I think would make it less attractive.

2 is ok too. A Moysian 2 should play about as well as a stopperless 1NT. And what hand am I afraid of missing game opposite?

However, I am a notorious pessimist.

It seems to me that here vary point of views makes bidding free ( or more modern ) but rules are a warrant for success than why don't follow them ?

Good job Yu. Seems like you busted Aguaman and Hog on the slippery zone.

Yes, I must have learned something over the past year. Perhaps from reading your posts? Nah! More like Justin's. :D

Sorry, folks. But, the situations are not quite the same. I would not mind advancing in a suit which is KJ 4th; I do object to a 3-level advance to a 1-bid takeout with j9XX.

Also, the theme remains valid that takeout doubler doesn't need to bounce into 3NT without confirming a stop in the Opening suit....in either case.

imps - best bid for south?

View Postjohnu, on 2014-May-12, 13:37, said:

Using a scoring system where there are no really bad bids,
1NT = 10, 2 = 6, 3 = 6, 3 = 6, 3NT = 6, 2 = 3, Pass = 3, , redouble = 3, 1 = 3

View Postjohnu, on 2014-May-12, 23:01, said:

Also, 2 = 2.9

View Postjohnu, on 2014-May-13, 11:15, said:

P.S. Additional scores 4NT (Blackwood) = 3, 5 = 3

Accepting the challenge :) 1N = 10, 2 = 9, 2 = 8, 1 = 7, 3 = 6, Pass = 3.

Which Justin? The one that you frequently disagreed and at one point called him "JNONLOGIC" ?

All this time I thought you are a stubborn man. In one topic you proved me totally wrong bro! :-)
