Scoring: MP

(3C)=P=P=?

Your call and why?

3NT, gotta reopen with something, wouldn't be surprised to see RHO with club void, so breaks aren't gonna be nice on a trump contract.

[pclayton]

Obvio pass

If this is the case, they will be equally as bad in a NT contract and you have no source of tricks. But by defening 3C, you may well go +200.

On the other hand, it is more likely partner has 1-2 clubs and a hand so weak that it could not act in the direct seat. If this is the case, you're hosed when you bid 3N.

Pass.

If we missed something, they got me. Next.

For the passers out there, would it be different at IMPs? At a different vulnerability?

[P_Marlowe]

If I do not pass with this hand, which
hand I need?

With kind regards

Pass at both form of scoring. Sometimes preempts work

No, and no.

I could agree that a double might work but I think it is more likely to go wrong.

IMO P =10 3N=7 X = 4
If partner is short in clubs, He has few HCP; so pass seems circumspect.
if its your hand and partner has values, then he also has club length. Hence, if you decide to bid, you should try to avoid a club ruff, by bidding 3N.

[sheepman]

erm?

Do I have a 4-3-3-3 12 count with QJx under the opener?

Why would i want to bid?

[Cascade]

Pass

If we miss slam bad luck

It does make a difference to me. I am doubling because it is MPs (still battling the part score). I agree with pass in IMPs because of the risk involved.

With a regular partner, I double here, because our 2nd seat bids over a preempt are very sound.
With a pickup partner, who would overcall a preempt with any possible hand, this is a clear pass.

[FrancesHinden]

Pass is obvious.

Given what we know about the hand opposite, I will happily admit that I may not be able to get to the right spot on these two hands.

[the hog]

Pass. I lack the imagination to do anything else.
