You are South. Partner passes and next hand bids 3♠, normal preempt.

Scoring: MP


Pass - (3♠) - ???

What do you bid if:

a) You play non-leaping Michaels in this position?

b) You don't?


Exchange the ♣6 with the ace, and again:

a) Playing NLM

b) No NLM


There is no "correct" answer, I simply want a lot of expert-opinions.

A1 Is my NLM forcing through 4♥? If yes, I pass, otherwise I bid 4♦
A2 Pass

B1 Easy NLM
B2 Tough. I guess I double and will give up on the magic 5-3 heart fit.

4♦ (even if it's forcing), dbl, 4♦, dbl. There isn't enough room to ascribe narrow ranges to these bids - it's better to get your shape across, even it that does mean ambiguity about strength.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

If pard passes NV, our side probably has no game on :)

Perhaps I bid 4NT later, but for now I pass. Would be quite harder if pard hadn't passed.

I pass on the first hand. I do not like to push them to 4 Spade, because I do not like my defensive prospects and I hate the missing strength of my hearts.
Besides this, I would rate the chance that pass 3 ♠ pass is the normal auction where I live, so I do not need to outscore the field here.

I would bid 4 ♦/double on the second hand.
Kind Regards
