do you agree with the 3♥ call ?


are your looking to play 4♠ or you pass hoping partner will make 3nt.

Will you try a "i hope my partner understand" 4D call.


opp are white so they could bid with cheese.

I don't agree with 3♥ (I would dbl over 3D). Now I bid 4♠.

[P_Marlowe]

Hi,

I agree with 3H, pass is certainly
an option but 3H is also ok.
Afterall, you have a single in their suit.

Now I pass, partner did hear the auction.
If I bid 4S, or 4D (?!), this would either say,
partner is an idiot / cant play the cards,
or that I now think 3H was wrong, ... but
one does not change horses in the middle
of the race.

With kind regards
Marlowe

PS: If they have bid on cheese, that means
partner has add. val, so why bid on.
Be more concerned, that they have more than
one expects.

[luke warm]

it's matchpoints.. i'd bid 4♠

[adhoc3]

3H and pass.

As pard known I had 0~1 D, 4H, 4+C, should pard had more interests playing spade game than 3NT, he probably would have bid 3S/4S.

Opps seems have a 9+ card fit, pard bid 3NT should have 3, only 1 left for me. Ok, it's true that someone always bid over/beneath to normal, i.e., 2D with 5 cards D suit only, and maybe his pard raised with 2 support (so pard would have 5 D!), or to the other end, opps could have 10 card fit but only bid 3. Whatever, it's very possible pard has a clear vision. So I assume he knows.

Someone may set up trap against me, but it does not happen too often:) .

hi
Removing 3NT is a bridge crime.. y opened thin , have shown 2 suits and p freely bids 3nt.. Taking out 3nt here is a slam try for me ... which slam you fancy? ... also start looking for a new p .. you'll be all alone soon.

If I pull 3NT, I am most likely pulling to a 43 spade fit. PD knows both opps bid D and freely bid 3NT. I trust him and pass. I expect he has a double stopper, and if it's marginal I am quite glad to hold the J which may make a marginal dbl stop into a guaranteed one.

I would pass 3D to limit my hand and let partner double back in, then I would bid 3H and would pass 3N.

[willow23]

I find it very strange that p did not bid 3♠..unless you play responsive dbls and your failure to dbl denies at least 4/3 in majors...I would trust that p used neg double correctly and his dbl guarantees 4♠/3♥+ and no more than 3♦..which leaves me to wonder about his ♣ holding..anyway ...p can have
4-3-3-3 or a 4-3-4-2...which may explain why he did not bid 3♠..so I will trust p to have 2 or 1/4 top honors with 10,9 in ♦ and pass.

Opps may have singletons or probably voids...since their hands seem to be shapely ..from their bidding..so 3NT may be marginally ok.
