Bidding in bridge

[@williamuk8279]

Graeme many thanks. You are without doubt the best bridge teacher on the net. The next time I’m down under I’ll buy you a couple of tinnies.

Gosh, William, that’s so kind of you to say. Please look me up if you do ever head down this way. Happy to share some beers.

You are so great explaining! Here we say " entender cambia la vida", translation: " understanding chances life". Thanks you Graeme !

Thank you for your support. You are so kind.

Hmm. 5 of a minor needs more strength, around 30 points. 3NT won't make on minimum strength if there is a four-four fit. There will be a weakness in another suit, and the 8-card fit won't produce an extra trick, as it would if it were 5-3. A lot of ink has been spilled on how many points 3NT requires. the 4-3-2-1 count is not as accurate as the Cowan count. 3NT will have. a good play with 37 Cowans or more. The Cowan count is 5 for Ace, 4 for King, 3 for Queen, 2 for Jack, and 1 for 10. Minimum opener is 17-20 and a strong no-trump is 21-24.

East’s rebid should surely have been 3S?

[@Skybridgeclub]

Yep, East was a little timid there.
