Hand of the Week - September 7 , 2020 - Glenna Shanahan - Stop or go

 

Problem: How do you bid a hand like this below so you do not stop at 3NT.  3NT is a closing bid.

Glenna: I bid 4NT (quantative, not Blackwood)[on this hand] and my partner passed me! My bid showed a really good hand and he didn’t like his 16 points I guess. If I had held his hand, think I would have tried 6NT.

 You have to know that when NT is bid, 4Nt shows 16+ points. If you want Ace’s, you use 4 ♣️.
