Weekly Hand Analysis - Glenna Shannahan - March 1, 2021- 2NT or 3NT?

 

Question: Can West pursue slam even if East gives a 3NT close out bid?

Glenna: 

  1 ♦️ P 3 ♦️ shows 11 or 12 points. West has a 17 point hand and should be thinking about Slam! W should be 2 ♣️ which is forcing! E would bid 2 NT and W should bid 6 NT!.

  Count, count, count! You have better than an opener so don’t show less than you have!

Hope this helps,

Glenna
