How would you rate Pass, Double, 4NT, and 5♣?
At the table, I doubled; I think now that it's right to bid 4NT.
Why all the shootings?

Team trials bidding problem
I held this hand in the team trials, favorable 2nd seat:

I like 4NT. Why not keep diamonds in play? I could be talked into pass. I don't care for double (that shows a different hand) or 5C (it's ok, but why give up on diamonds).
ReplyDeleteI personally rank them as X, pass, 5C, 4NT
ReplyDeleteI rank double highest because I can see taking a piece of this opposite the right hand from partner.
I rank pass next because I still don't see them getting a sure plus and bidding is almost surely -300.
I rank 5C over 4NT because I like 4NT to show a discrepancy of 1 card rather than 2 cards in general. I can also see running into club ruffs playing in diamonds. My feeling tends to be that if my intention leans towards sacrifice I want to be in the long suit.
