a general question, is it ever right to transfer over 1N with a 4 card suit - does this depend on the strength on 1NT if so what would be an example hand where you would transfer many thanks Eagles

Well tempting to pass

I'll be on Later Eagles

thanks folks, I think I was a bit too conservative here as I just passed the transfer. I suspected partner would have a lot of wasted values with the opponents not competing in either diamonds or spades. the whole hand was: [hv=pc=n&s=skhk98753dcjt8643&w=s976543h6dakt64c2&n=sqj2hj2dq9532cak7&e=sat8haqt4dj87cq95&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=p1np2dp2hppp]399|300[/hv] and 2H = was the limit, but far more luck than judgement and I'm not sure why the opps didnt compete thanks Eagles

all 4 players playing acol p is a regular, LHO and RHO are bbo randoms [hv=pc=n&s=skhk98753dcjt8643&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=p1n(12-14)p2dp2hp]133|200[/hv] anything now? do you agree with starting with a transfer? (texas transfer not available) Thanks Eagles

I think the first double by LHO is really bad, why would you want to make a takeout double with AKQTxx in a suit that one of your opponents has bid! after that I think the vast majority of players would take 2d over 2c as either - any force - raise in clubs - asking for a stopper in diamonds I think using it as wanting to play in 2d is just a total waste of time Eagles

A Matchpoints problem for Novice/Beginner [hv=pc=n&s=s87haqt652dt7cak3&n=sakq65hk9dj853cq9&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=1hp1sp2hp4hppp]266|200[/hv] ♦A 3 9 7 ♦K 5 4 T ♦6 Q 8 ♥2 ♥ 5 8 K 3 ♥ 9 4 A ♣4 what now: Hint: opps will use best defence and clubs split 4-4

I can take or leave an immediate 4n agree with bill that it's close. As for the worry about p having a heart loser or whatever what possible hand can he have? I'm just not seeing it

I'd bid 7 partner knows we didn't bid direct over 3h and we are pretty much max for our subsequent 4n bid and p has leapt to 6.

I don't agree that 5h is likely to be 3 off at least. We know p has at most 1 spade and x kqxxxx xxx Kxx 5h is virtually cold.

thanks folks i just blasted 6C - 1 a bit unlucky maybe both other tables in 3N [hv=pc=n&s=skj6hqt5dcakq8765&w=sqt74h7632dkqt75c&n=s93haj8daj63cj943&e=sa852hk94d9842ct2&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=1c1d3np6cppp]399|300[/hv]

[hv=pc=n&e=skj6hqt5dcakq8765&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=1c1d3np]133|200[/hv] needless to say I made the wrong desicion Thanks, Eagles
