♠ A 7 4 3 ♥ A J 9 ♦ K J 2 ♣ Q 6 3 |
The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? With partner's 15, 16 or 17 points added to your 16 the total assets are 31, 32 or 33. That's only one chance in 3 of having the points you need for slam. On the other hand you have a pretty good 16. So you bid 4NT, inviting partner to bid the slam. He will pass if he has only 15, so the worst thing that can happen is that he puts you in slam with only 32 points. So you bid 4NT and guess what? He passes. Deal 19 |
