- 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?
- yes
- What is the best meaning for the double of a cue bid?
- In this hypercompetitive environment I think it is more important to show a hand that has some values willing to compete to the 3 level versus the 3♠ preemptive raise. Now opener will be better placed to bid on or double. The defensive hands without a fit can double ...
- Scrambling or GOSH
- 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 ...
- Can Bergen raises be unlimited?
- We play 3C as the weaker Bergen raise and 3D invitational. If you want to add a stronger meaning to 3C that could work well. Opener usually asks for max/min with 3D. AS long as you stipulate that the cheapest non raise shows the "maximum minimum" and any other ...
- Problems with Lebensohl
- Using Larry's example auction but playing Lipensohl, partner would also bid 3D as a transfer with an invitational or stronger hand while denying a spade stop. With a minimum, opener would bid 3H. Responder would pass with a minimum, but with a stronger hand, he could rebid 3S to ...
- Problems with Lebensohl
- Regarding stoppers, it is true that you can find stoppers later with a 3S ask. However, what do you do over a 2H overcall after a 3H transfer and partner bids 3S. There is no room for a stopper ask. Lipensohl starts with an over transfer to 3N showing game ...
- Problems with Lebensohl
- some play a double is penalty. If played as negative, the double would work
