Just questions ...

Could partner have asked for controls (aces) over 3NT?

When partner forced to game why didn't I bid more than 3NT with my 18 hcp?


Only a few games played with this partner, his tendancy is to overbid.

Answers:

Over 3NT, 4♣ would be Ace asking
Agree 4NT is better.

Partner held

Ax Qx AKQxxx JTx

I dont know why he did not bid 3♦.

As Justin says, the only reason we bid 3NT last round is that we must have miscounted our points by an ace (or more). Now we just look embarrassed and raise.

Can partner have Axx xxx AKQ10x Kx, in which case 7♦ will be better? I think that is what I will bid, and my expert partner will correct to 7NT if it is wrong. [You cannot be serious - Ed.]

We can find a lot of hands where partner has failed to bid 3D, failed to bid 4NT over 3NT, or was just plain being froggy. Some of them even might go down in 7NT on a bad day.

But having misbid so badly myself on the previous round, I don't think I will look for partner to have done the same thing.

Why would partner show a game forcing club raise with Kx of clubs? Personally, I would show a GF with diamonds and bid 3D with that hand!

Also, why would partner force to slam opposite a likely weak NT with a 1N opener?
