This was the only bidding decision I had Tuesday that I wasn't clear on - doesn't mean I was right on the others - just that I presumed I knew what they meant :-). AQxx void Qxx AQxxxx You Partner 1C 1H 1S 2NT ? Is 3C forcing? Certainly better than 3NT if it is. If it is, then what do you do with Axxx void Qxx AJxxxx? I suppose , with the original, you can bid 3D, but the hand isn't THAT good. So, 3C forcing? If not, your call?

| 1942.1 | lucky escape - what was AF/AK defense ? | GAAS::BRAUCHER | And nothing else matters | Thu Mar 06 1997 09:13 | 14 |
JK - in the style we were playing (my 2NT is an 11 count, 2D then 2NT
would be forcing), I think 3C is not forcing and 3D is the only choice
you had. By the way, the deal was something like :
AQxx - Qxx AQxxxx
Jxx A108xx xxxx x K10xx J9xx Kxx Kx
xx KQxx AJ10 J10xx
And was pushed at 3NT making 4. 5C makes on 1 of 3 finesses, but the
heart lead should have beaten 3NT, except that at our table, RHO on
winning CK returned a LOW heart instead of the 9 !!

| 1942.2 | I'd bid 3C | SUBSYS::SENGUPTA | Shekhar Sengupta DTN 237-6785 | Thu Mar 06 1997 15:26 | 8 |
Absent any other understanding, I would bid 3C to clarify my hand pattern
as well as high card concentration. Is 3D totally artificial or does
it signify anything from the actual holding to a 4-2-3-4 hand pattern?
Your hand deteriorates noticeably after the 1H bid, so I don't think
there is a need to make a forcing bid unless partner can find a bid
after 3C.
