- Gazzilli Question
- Then what do you bid with a 5=3-32 minimum? 2♥ lets responder pass with 5 hearts and no game interest
- how do you bid these hands?
- My initial assumption was 3♥ natural forcing...…...but this partner is quick on the trigger with a slam try, so I wasn't SURE if he wasn't making a slam try in clubs. Afraid to "cue bid" spades, I tried to show a minimum with 4♣ (but ...
- how do you bid these hands?
- However, I came up with a fix for this style: cue bid twice with a strong fit; cue bid then raise is invitational; cue bid then new suit is a natural game force. I wish I had thought of that before! Ps: Using the amended scheme above, a 3H jump ...
- how do you bid these hands?
- We had no agreement that cue then 3♥ was a suit
- What is the weaker call?
- If 3M is the weakest call, then the pass could be used to show a maximum minimum (invitational opposite a maximum) and keep partner from bidding game with extra strength over the 3M signoff.
- No Drury in 4th seat?

- If you play equal level conversion, the cheapest new suit bid would be a scramble (here 2♠) and other bids are GOSH. To show a GOSH in the cheapest suit you must jump (if your suit here was spades you would have to jump to 3S, the downside of ...
- Opening 10 HCP 6m331 hands playing Matchpoints
- I open 1m with both (7 losers, 2 quick tricks, rebid, lead director, major suit support with a singleton). So what's not to like!?
- No Drury in 4th seat?
- I play a different form of Drury by a passed hand. 2♣ show 4+ trumps and ANY strength. 2♦ shows a limit raise with 3 trumps and 2M shows a single raise with only 3 trumps. If opener has no game interest opposite any limit raise, he closes ...
