huh? I count 13 tricks, wtp?

If the heart Q were out you'd have 13 tricks without spade lead (on normal breaks) and a decent chance at 13 with such a lead. Of course, you'd be playing 7 DIAMONDS :)

Count better Nuno, how do you plan to make 13 tricks on a spade lead?

:P My plan would be to take the first 13 tricks. 7♦, 3♥, 2♠ and a ♣.

I thought it was standard to play 1♦-1♥;3NT as this type of hand. If it doesn't show this, what does it show?


To me it is standart. As Justin said there are down sides to it such as wrongsiding but in my own experience i learnt not to worry a lot about the suits opponents had the chance but did not bid at 1 level. It also takes a lot of weight from 3♦ rebidding hands and gives pd a better picture of the hand.

Here is a hand we played yesterday with Aaron

Bidding went

1♥--1♠
3NT--4♥
pass :P

My 3 NT showed solid ♥ suit eventhough i had only solidish ♥ and 4♥ was sign off. We agreed to talk about it later. I dunno if i had a better bid available or if he could make a better move, but 7NT was cold as in this topic. (3-2 ♠ )
