Weekly Hand Analysis - Glenna Shannahan - August 28, 2023 - 4NT


Question:  How do you know when 4NT is a quantitative bid rather than a Blackwood bid?

Glenna

 Good question because most people don’t know how to do this:  The bottom line is IF you know you have a fit, 4NT is keycard for your suit.

IF you do not know if you have a fit, it is quantitative. 

Some examples that might help:

  1 or 2 NT  P -  4NT - Quantitative

  1N p  2 ♦️, p 2 ♥️, 4 NT IS Quantitative

  1 N p 2 ♣️, Pass  2 ♥️  4NT is Quantitative 

Expert use:

  1 NT P  2 ♣️ P  2 ♥️  4 ♣️ is a splinter loves ♥️

  1 NT P 2 ♦️  P 2 ♥️ ,4 ♣️ is a splinter bid

Think the club needs to offer a slam class, but hope this helps, Glenna
