hi:) say u have this hand: [hv=s=sakxxhxxxdxxxxcxx]133|100|[/hv] and u lead ace of spade, dummy comes down whit:[hv=s=sakxxhxxxdxxxxcxx]133|100|[/hv] now its preatty obvius that u need to skift suit right?? this is just one exampel u have a lot of obvius shift situasjons:)) kenneth

Hi. i whould bid 4♠, but im not that proud of the bid since i have 3♥ kenneth

Well they Q-bid clubs and use 5 ace blackwood, whats so different in Q-bidding ♠too????

Hi free:) sounds like u need to get laid or somthing, seems u have a lot of frustration inside since u get this upset over me useing big letters:))) but if it helps u sleep atnigh ill use small letter when i post my nosens ok?:)) (ps my english isnt that good eather so i hope u dont choke on my typos:)) And agree whit fluffy a 4♠Q- is better then a ♦Q. kenneth

i THINK WRONG HAND WENT TO BLACKWOOD, NORTH SHOULD q-BID 4♦, AND SUTH SHOULD BE BIDDING 4 NT.

this is how i play it too:)

well i dont think its right to open 1 ♥ just in case i cant bid next time under the 5 level lol

Clear 1♦ opening kenneth

its no problem opening 15-17 nt whit 5 in a major after my experience, we use puppet stayman over 1 nt,(not just over 2 nt), and then responder can check if he want so fint ut if u have 4 or 5 card major... np:)) kenneth

whell i guess u know we meant ♠had to be 2-2. lol

i got this from raija today, Two way checkback: Using both 2§ and 2¨ as artif rebids. After any auction that begins with A-B-C (all 1 level bids) Responder bids: 2§ (artif) = xfer to 2¨ - either weak with ¨s or any game try hand (never GF) opener bids 2¨ almost always except with 18/19 or unusual hands 2¨ (artif) = Game forcing hand asking for more info (usually about support for Major) Using this method - we never get confused as to where responder is headed although after using 2¨ - we may be going toward slam. A 2NT bid by responder (from 1 level) = xfer to 3§ (even over 1NT) 2NT = one of 2 types of hands - weak with Clubs OR 5-5+ GF Over the 3§ bid: Pass = weak with Clubs All other bids = 5-5 GF - bid 2nd suit or rebid 1st suit when Clubs Is the other suit. This means that all secondary jumps by responder are natural (5-5) and invitational only. ª Qxx ª Jx © Kx © AQJxx ¨ Axxx ¨ xxx § AJxx ¨ Kxx 1§ 1© 1NT 2§* 2§= xfer to 2¨ 2¨* 2© 2©=5 card suit NF but a try 3NT 3N= max (not 3 cards in ©) - can also bid 2N with min and 1© ª Kxx ª AJ9xx © Axx © KQJx ¨ Axx ¨ x § Qxxx § Kxx 1§ 1ª 1NT 2¨* 2¨ = artif GF 2ª 4ª 2ª = 3 card support - other bids natural. ª AKxxx © x ¨ Jx § AQxxx Partner opens 1§ - you 1ª -- 1NT -- 2N* (xfer to 3§) Then 3ª = ª and § 5-5 GF --- if other suit was ¨ or © - bid that suit at 3 level over 3§ PASSED HAND BIDDING: Since responder can’t have a GF hand - we use 2§ as the same xfer to 2¨ with either weak hand w ¨s or game invit hand (somewhere). A 2¨ rebid by responder = natural NF with 10-11 points and prob only 4 card Major. thw symboles for the suits seems to not upear her, but §=♣,"=♦,@=♥,a=♠

i heasr its simular to 2 way check-back,but not quite the same since in 2wcb u can use it whenever 3 bids are made at the 1 level(the 3th bid dosent have to be nt) but stll dont have the name for this convention

i i think the xy-nt system is exelent,speasaly for us who dont play 2/1 gameforse. but i need the name???

yes same here 3♣is for play, but do u know the name???

Hi Kenneth the convention is called XYZ. If you type in GOOGLE Bridge abd XYZ you'll get a lot of links. i.e. XYZ The convention is similar to "twoway-forcing-minor" cheers Al Hi NO sry sorry this is not what i meant, this is different xy and z could be ♥or♠, but i mean bid-bid -1 nt

HI GUYS:))) I was woundering if someone have the name for this convention, in norway we call it xy-nt but no others seem to know that name. the convention i means is this: 1♣/♦/♥-pass-1♦/♥/♠-pass-1NT- NOW: 2 ♣=ask opener to bid 2 ♦,and any bid after that is invitt to game but not forsing. 2 ♦is gameforse. 2 ♥/♠ for play the reason we call it XY-nt is becouse its only after X(bid)-Y(bid)-1NT its on. someone know what this is caled elsvere?? thx a lot kenneth

Agrre i was under the same impresson, that it made however the minor ar disribute not ♠ or♥ so i assumed you sayd we would have to play on ♠2-2 kenneth

ace of ♥, ruff a♥,2 times♠(spades need to bee 2-2),king of♣,♣ to ace, jack of♥,pich last ♣, west must return♣ or u have 12 tricks,now !D to king ruff a ♣if 33- u are home or else ♠3 to dummys 7 and !D finness . are we there soon?? lol

sry, my fouldt. yes this line would work i think:))

how could west be scveesed in ♥ and ♣/♦ after u played 3 times hart?

Two level response by: Opener - forcing, but not GAME force Responder - Game force helium on bbo, kenneth in Norway,27 years old, self rated as "expert"on bbo.

Ok a bit differen then, ace of ♥ ruff a ♥, 2 times ♠,♣king,♣to ace ,♦king and then ♥Jack pith last♣ and west is endplayed, if he still have more ♣ ill ruff and play my ♠3(whitch i have ceept)to dummy and take finnes in ♦ kenneth

1 nt all hands:)but agree whit fluffy, if i open 1♠i bid a minor next.

still dont see any reason jack of ♣ wont work in trick 2, opps cant take 5 imitate tricks, they only have 4, and the have to give me the 9th if they like it or not when i ceep playing ♦ every time so thats still my play. kenneth

lol i guess i should ask all questions at once sry , but whats the lead and whos declerer, did opps bid? kenneth
