Greetings!
I was rather unsuccessful with googling, so I was hoping that maybe someone in here can help out! Seems perfectly logical to play transfers after 1♣ gets interfered as it is most of the time 12-14 BAL. But I am having trouble understanding how certain things should work. Let´s look at a random example:
1♣-(1♦)-
- X: 4...5 ♥
- 1♥: 4...5 ♠
- 1♠: transfer to NT --- what hand types can this include? What do you do with 54 minors unbal and 8-10 points, for example? Especially if opps bid a major not ♦
- 1NT: what should this be? ♣? Can it work as BAL INV opposite to 12-14 as there already is a transfer to 1NT on the first level?
- 2♣: transfer to ♦ -- opponent´s suit thus GF without stopper?
- 2♦: transfer to ♥ weak or GF: Define "weak" here. How does strong opener bid after this? What is forcing etc?
- 2♥: transfer to ♠ weak or GF
- 2♠: ?? transfer to ♣?
- 2NT: GF BAL with stopper perhaps?
- 3♣: INV with ♣
- 3♦: INV with ♥
- 3♥: INV with ♠
- 3♠: ?
What kind of transfer schemes do you use? Can anyone share theirs?
One more question that bugs me is in one-sided auction:
1♣-3♣/3♦: 6-card suit INV
If it turns out that the opener had a strong hand then the auction just seems to get (unnecessarily) ugly.
Could it be reasonable to add this hand type under 1♣-2m which should be normally GF? So there would be one exception hand type that is not immediate GF (and is always GF opposite to strong opener anyway)?
Thanks in advance!
