Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Need help trying out an unbalanced 1!d/1!h/1!s approach, please
- They play 1♣ - 1♠ and 1other - 1NT as GF relay.I believe the reason being that 1♣ - 1♠ - 1NT shows the balanced hand and 2♣+ can be the same as after 1other - 1NT.
- James Creech's bidding problem: 93 AQ96 KT65 Q62
- Good poll :) All options are equally popular so far. I like opening to reduce the likelihood of a ♠-lead as well as showing p some values. I don't like 1♥ with such a balanced hand, will get us too high if p has a fit.
- Rohit Gupta's bidding problem: AQ5 A85 876 KQ97
- Imo the only way to try to play ♥ from partner is to pass but most of the time partner would then try to transfer again by redoubling. So I prefer to bid 2♥ right away at least showing the correct number of hearts.
- Anthony Pettengell's bidding problem: AT5 --- J8543 T9532
- We had a similar auction the other day: 1♥ (11-15) - (1♠) - 1NT - (2♠) X (p) ? We agreed that 2NT should be minors (no ♥-fit, not having passed 2♠X). At the table we had no agreement but my partner still bid 2NT thinking that I would likely ...
- What is 2NT?
- So one answer from one in the minors camp: I found it convenient for double to show both minors and some strength (say 9+) and 2N to be weaker. With a constructive minor suit freebid just bid 3m and on weak minor suit hands just pass, usually you are not ...
- Yordan Boychev's bidding problem: AJxx KQ9xxx x QJ
- Martin, I do not know how much sense it makes to cater to a hand that is exactly inviational and wants to improve the contract at the 3-level. A bit weaker and you might just bid 3H over 1S to show 7 and a weak hand. You might very well ...
- Yordan Boychev's bidding problem: AJxx KQ9xxx x QJ
- Fair point! I agree that 3S shows more naturally what you have (Spade stopper, no ♦ stopper) and lets partner still bid a doubleton heart or rebid good clubs or 3NT with a diamond stopper. Thus, slam should be reached more easily if partner skips 3NT. But why should he ...
- Yordan Boychev's bidding problem: AJxx KQ9xxx x QJ
- 3♥ should be forcing here (With a Min just pass 3C) so I bid that hoping to find a fit there. 3NT can still be reached after a 3S cuebid by partner.
- Jan Sohl's bidding problem: Q973 AQ82 95 KJ6
- I learned that 2♦ is inv.+ asking for further description (If invitational, responder must have 5+ hearts). So opener should tell by his rebid whether he is min or max but ofc other treatments are possible. The jump is certainly space-consuming.
- Jan Sohl's bidding problem: Q973 AQ82 95 KJ6
- We open only good 11s (usually have a 5 card suit or some useful spot cards). I like your idea of betting on some diamond length in partner's hand. What I do not like is wrongsiding NT, but there is clearly no perfect bid. At the table I thought ...
