We certainly hadn't discussed it, though I suppose it should be obvious. 6NT is an irrelevance here, though.Phasmidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870140728729031615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181380552290465298.post-71413165228958945642012-08-07T10:49:55.898-04:002012-08-07T10:49:55.898-04:00I'm guessing that 2C was meant to be a mild mi...I'm guessing that 2C was meant to be a mild misdirection or something Bruce. I have to admit that 2C would have talked me right into passing 4NT as I would expect partner would always have a four card major for this sequence. If partner bids a direct 4NT, I'm headed to 6 of a minor. <br /><br />I think 5NT over 4NT should be accepting the invite with both minors, so you'd get to 6D. <br /><br />Robin's hand is the type that I get too pessimistic about (minors, QJ tight), but really shouldn't because the length in the minors has great potential.Steve McDevitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04131917864119910435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181380552290465298.post-88269950961510708852012-08-07T10:10:34.677-04:002012-08-07T10:10:34.677-04:00I am a little confused about the 2C bid, unless yo...I am a little confused about the 2C bid, unless you were playing Puppet. With a 3343 shape, why not 4NT immediately over 1NT? Also, doesn't 6NT work here whenever 6C does? I think either slam is down on a heart lead if the spade king is offside (5 clubs, 4 diamonds, 1 heart, 1 spade). The sweet spot looks like 6D which I think does make even on a heart lead as long as trumps are 3-2. So 68% plus the spade king is right half of the remainder. 84% for 6D? Interesting hand.BruceDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602587629150290052noreply@blogger.com
