0-100 is not an option? :)

EDIT: I mean 0 OR 100, not 0 to 100.

Near 100% if you go down 3 or less, 0% if you go down 4.
Unless 3NT goes down on partner's normal lead...

I voted for my expectation of the percentage, which is around 30-40%. I think the actual percentage will very rarely be in this range.

:) I think your point that 4♦ is not a crazy bid in this situation is well made. I wish I had the 10 and 9 of ♦.

RHO probably didnt bypass a major and probably doesnt have 5♣. So hes likely to have 3♦. West is likely to be be short in Diamonds and my preempt might push them into a bad slam (♦AK♦ facing a stiff or d void). Also we have a lead problems defending 3nt with an unclear lead is annoying since you can blow some MP just by the lead.


I think the risk of down 4 or worse or that 3nt goes down is too bad. So i give 35% for 4♦ and i lead a low D.

For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

50% and even if I Pass the result will be the same -50%. split up between 6 and 4♠.

Well, bad bids don't always get punished (and it's hard to guess scores when the opponent's bidding doesn't make sense).
The easiest way to count losers is to line up the people who talk about loser count, and count them. -Kieran Dyke
