But it can't be much worse than that to make 3NT a serious suggestion if he understood 2NT correctly.

is not a bad shot ...

but yes 3N does not exist on this sequence, so I think you can do what you like. The only time I've ever produced a bid like it was where I realised my 2 4 card black suits were in fact one 8 card suit, and partner had just transferred to the other black suit.

Sorry: I did not realise you were merely trying to espouse bidding methods. I tend to assume that posts here are aimed at the rulings being discussed. No, I did not read your sentence as being part of your 'aside'.

I agree with Hotshot and Cyberyeti that partner may be gambling with something like this.

Last night, at the Glasgow Bridge Centre, on a similar deal and auction, we went five down in 3NT. Unfortunately...

  • There was no major-suit game for opponents :( and
  • Our main rivals wrapped up an overtrick: similar auction, same 3N contract, same declarer, but a different lead :(

So what if partner is gambling? I'm still supposed to take a safer road after partner's gamble, right? Imo East can do whatever he wants.
