Partner opens 3. What is your call with the following hand:
You selected Option true.
A
KJ42
AKQ84
KQ4?
4. We aren't going to be able to take enough tricks in notrump. If your partner has something like KJ76432 without an outside ace, you will probably make 4 (on a lucky day), but would not be able to make 3NT because you won't be able to get to partner's hand. Below is an example of two hands:
You selected Option true.
KJ109432
Q65
3
87
You selected Option true.
A
KJ42
AKQ84
KQ4
We can see that 3NT will need some help, but 4 is virtually cold.
