[hv=pc=n&w=sak96hdakt965ckt3]133|100[/hv] 1♥ Dbl 2♥ Pass Pass ?

You would pass and hope you can make it.

Obviously it depends on the hand. Either 1♣, 1♦, 1NT, 2NT...................

Agree. Probably pass, if pd had [hv=pc=n&n=skqjt92haqj2dack2]133|100[/hv] he would have opened 2C.

GIB has never been able to bid and probably never will be able to. Why even post a GIB bidding problem?

I probably wouldn't dbl competent players but would certainly dbl contempt players, even at the nationals level.

1NT of course, didn't you say MP's? :) If pd hits 2♣ I pull to 2D.

If E is void in H he is 4054 (assuming small D lead) with 14+ HCP and passed 2H? Impossible..

[hv=pc=n&s=skj932haj2dt3cak7&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=1sp4hp]133|200[/hv] MPs both vul 4H is splinter

1 4♥ always unless none of my cards are in hearts and my cards are soft. I don't like playing hero. 2 No, see 1 3 No

I wouldn't mind bidding 4S with this hand if this is what it shows, but then how do you show KQJx KQx AKJx xx ?

The bidding was reasonable until West's 5C bid (I might have bid 4C instead of only 3) but when East can compete to the 4 level over the forced 3C bid, West's hand is obviously worth bidding 6C. West 100% of the blame. I wish I could give him more.

4C...

What's the 3D bid all about? That should show about 6-8 and a good 6 bagger in diamonds. Isn't 2NT forcing? I certainly wouldn't want to play a system where it could be passed. Now you would get to 4H on the 1st hand and 3NT on the 2nd.

I also agree with Cherdano, especially his point that you have to have a way to differentiate between 'gambling, preemptive' splinters and real ones. With the given hand repeated club leads would make it depend on a trump split and a diamond split.

1) of course not, 1C followed by 2S over 1D or 1H assuming it goes that way. 2) plan on rebidding spades if allowed

gnasher is correct, 100% to south

[hv=pc=n&w=sat6543ha4dcaqt52&e=skj97hj87dakt543c]266|100|IMPs, E deals[/hv]

[hv=pc=n&s=s6hqjt942d3ca7642]133|100[/hv] pass to you, red vs white, matchpoints

[hv=pc=n&n=sj6hakq74dt8cj632&d=w&v=b&b=4&a=p]133|200[/hv]

I agree 100%

I like the first auction a lot, it may not work but every bid seems logical.

How about 1S P 2D P 2NT P 3C P 3H P 4C P 4H P 5NT followed by whatever steps you use to show one top honor

[hv=pc=n&w=skj2hak7dajt62ct8&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1cp1hdp2d3c3d3hppp]133|200[/hv] What is your lead?

[hv=d=s&v=b&b=7&a=1h1s2cp3cp3dp3hp3sp4cp4dp4hp4np5hp7cppp]133|100[/hv] I'm assuming rkc is for clubs, not hearts.
