Can you explain pls Justin !!??? ROFLLLLL Alain

&[=[T$$#"¥¢! sounds extra cool when typed with a Danish keyboard :) &[=[T$$#"¥¢! I use the same word about Gerber ! LOL ;)

It should be fun to see ! Action guaranteed ! :) :) Alain

I also vote 3♣ cause I really have the feeling that the job is not done with 2♠ and at imps (I assume) we can still have 5♣ or 3NT... Alain

Good preempt but with 5-4-2-2 (btw very good hand), I bid 4♥ Alain

Yes, I do ! K♣ is a golden card and the ♥A can cover one of partner's major losers Only if they find the ♠ lead ! :) Alain

1♠, why preempt partner ? I have the boss suit and can come to 4♠ later. Alain

If I have support I will bid it. I think this is more simple and effective B) Alain

Pass also, partner has nothing and I don't want to go down at the 5 level. Alain

1. No, non existent suit of 5 cards ! 2. No, I have nothing and my ♥ are misplaced ! Alain

I bid 3♣ : no clear direction and in that particular auction this shows no extra ! Alain

I think I would have considered a 4♥ bid with N's hand Alain

I don't like Michaels on that hand. Not only because of the non existent ♣ suit but also because of the too much length difference between both suits. Alain

I tend to agree with Roland. When you overcall, you have a good reason to do it and even if you are short in HCP, you have to assume it until the end of the auction. Btw, it is sure that this grand is not easy to bid and I fully understand the way of thinking of both N and S. Alain

I would like to be able to do the same !! :blink: :D Alain

Just for your information : in France and in Belgium, it is very common that the 2♣ Roudi (from Roudinesco) is played. It is very simple and very effective : 1m 1M 1NT 2♣ = at least invit with 5M or not 2♦ : mini, 2 cards in M 2♥ : mini, 3 cards in M 2♠ : maxi (14), 3 cards in M 2NT : maxi, 2 cards in M with the inference that : 1m 1M 1NT 2NT = transfer to 3♣ cause you can't play 2♣ anymore. Alain

If you don't play Drury, you have no choice and have to bid it as if it was not a passed hand. Alain

If you don't play Drury, 2♣ is non forcing and must show at least 5♣ and no ♠ fit Alain

1♠ and maybe sometimes 2♠ depending on opps, score .... but surely never 3♠ which is poker ! :P Alain

I remember that very well as I was in the attendance ! This was for a place in semifinals ! Alain

Yes this is darkness ! :rolleyes: We are NV, I have ♥ and ♣ and partner has ♠, I think I will take the money (I hope) and just double. Alain

Same for me but I voted 2♠ Alain

Agree Alain

Dbl is clear for me Alain
