MP at the club.



The table result of 4+1 scored 1 MP, half the pairs were in the good single dummy 6NT spot (all but 1 making 7), 1 in 7NT, 1 in 6, 1 in 4nt, and 1 in 6-1.

i think it's very difficult to get to 6nt. most roads seem to end in 6d. 3nt by north would be a winner, but i would still double despite the aj of clubs and then south drives slam.

I think its pretty clear for north oto dble 3c. After that south will drive a slam somewhere.

Hello, North must have been watching cows fly by!!

North has a 3 QT, 15 point hand with 3+ cards in each outside suit but can't find at least a TO double. That's an incredibly egregious bidding error. Once it happens, it's very difficult to ever recover.

My guess is that most of the 6 NTs followed after most North's found the winning 3 NT call.

North might try to recover by making a 4 cue over South's double. J653 isn't exactly an overwhelming holding with which to jump to a game on. But whatever call South makes next, it likely neither partner can visualize there's enough for slam.

After an immediate 3 NT by North, if South Gerbers with 4 and finds 3 As, 6 NT is an easy call.

After an immediate TO double by North, South should bid 4 showing a big hand.

More worried about being in a 50% 7 than missing a slam, ofc N should act, prob with a double.

North's first pass would not occur to me and then shutting it down in 4 on THAT suit is even worse at matchpoints.
