3♣ for me too
-
My partner would not understand if I don't cue with this... :)
-
Same for me.

Given that we are in 2♠, I think the alternatives with North's hand are : 2♣, 2NT (minors), pass I think I have enough HCP's and shape to try a bid here (nowadays, openings and replies can be very weak) and my preference goes to 2NT ! Then, South has to move with these very good cards...

As others said : you were right. Redoubling tends to show a hand with other suits than partner's suit so that you can try to go for blood ! If you redouble with all hands of 9+, you will have a lot of problems if the opps jump in their good fit ! There are also hands where you don't want to penalize due to the unfavorable vulnerability.

Do you get in there?

No agreement so 3♦ is .........guess.......... ♦'s :) :blink: -
LOL ! Same for me : natural
-
I don't like preempts with 2 Aces and this one is easier as this is too strong for 2♥ 1♥
-
Agree with Ron and I pass
-
My plan is simple : pass :P
-
2♦ I don't specially like it but have nothing else (1NT = never with single in my partnership, 2c hum, reverse = awful)
-
I pass, must have just a little bit more to bid 2♦
-
Same for me ! ;)
-

-

-
Congrats !! Great result ! :P

Pass

What is This Bid?
joker_gib replied to kenrexford's topic in General Bridge Discussion (not BBO-specific)
Are you sure you read this correctly? Usually 1NT 3M shows this hand type, not going via a 2S transfer to 3C. Yes, I read correctly I also play that 3M shows this hand but this is not common where I live. They reserve other meanings to 3M : slamish one suiter for example... -
What is This Bid?
joker_gib replied to kenrexford's topic in General Bridge Discussion (not BBO-specific)
Here, most people play this as Harald says : stiff or major fragment with 5/4 or 4/5 minors. I also prefer the stiff cause if you have to play in the Moysian, the strong hand will declare. -
Yes, simply the best match I have ever seen ! :( (and I saw Borg-Mac Enroe in 80) How can they play like this ? :)

Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch vugraph this week-end ! :( Congratulations ! :)
