My partner made 1NT direct overcall after 1H opening. I have a weak hand, long Diamonds and don't want partner to play NT. What is my bid please? Do many players bid System On after partners 1NT overcall these days? If using system-on, does that include Minor Suit transfers (4-way transfers)?

Thank you for your replies. So if need partner to participate in decision-making, use Jacoby and if going to make decisions by yourself, use Texas. Hope, I got it right now.

http://www.larryco.com/BridgeArticles/ArticleDetails.aspx?articleID=66 Very confusing: don't use Texas with slam interest, but at the same time recommending to use 4NT to check keycards after Texas...

Thank you very much, Zelandakh! Will study that discussion ASAP

2NT(N)-3D(S)-3H(N) I am South with 6 Hearts and slam interest. Should I use 4NT or would it be quantitative raise? Should Gerber be used then?

Thank you very much for the valuable opinions. Sometimes I am in a place with bad Internet connection, like now. Will get back on Sunday ... With more questions ;)

Dealer: North [hv=pc=n&s=sa32hatdakqj7654c&n=sqjt876hdcakq8765]133|200[/hv] How would you bid it?

If South doubled/passed would you in West's seat raise partner's hearts? Thank you for the answers. I would greatly appreciate a link to the best source on Internet to learn about Lebensohl in this bidding sequence.

Thank you for all of your valuable opinions.I am used to naming all opening with less the 12 high card points "light". Like 2D rebid rather than supporting spades with those three little cards.

Considered many times but worried that pd may bid that minor with 4-cards...

Thank you :)

2H wouldn't be taken as a reverse by North, because if S was strong enough to reverse should rather double 2D?

Thank you, Antrax! Is it 1H-1S-2D-2NT?

Thank you, TylerE, So you think the bidding should be 1C-P-1NT-PPP? Still if East came in with 2D (players do make terrible bids ;) ), what would you do if you were sitting South? North?

Dealer: West Vul: Both [hv=pc=n&s=sq953h64dakt62ck9&w=sk764hqj3d98ca642&n=saj82h52dqj43cqt5&e=sthakt987d75cj873]399|300[/hv] If East opened with 2♥, is there a way for N/S to go to ♠ cotract/ reach ♠ game?

Dealer: South, Vul: E/W [hv=pc=n&s=saq8hkj96d752ck42&w=sk952hqt4dj3cqt63&n=sj64ha73dt94caj95&e=st73h852dakq86c87]399|300[/hv] What is North's best response to 1C opening? If North responded with 1NT, should East come in showing his excellent Diamonds? If bidding went 1C-P-1NT-2D, what should S/N next?

Dealer:East Vul: Both [hv=pc=n&s=sqt72hkqd9876ca42&w=skj53ht8dk52ckt85&n=sa9hj632dt4cqj976&e=s864ha9754daqj3c3]399|300[/hv] Should East open? After East's 1H opening how would the bidding go? Should N/S interfere?

Wow! Thank you very much and please send my thanks to Mr. Bergen B-) :) Big thankyou to everyone who replied for the discussion, learned a lot here about add-ons to the original convention. PS. Somehow it makes me feel better that even experts have different opinions ;)

Dealer:North, Vul: Both [hv=pc=n&s=sqt6532hak96dc532&w=sk74hj73dj76cqj96&n=saj9hqt852dt43c87&e=s8h4dakq9852cakt4]399|300[/hv]

♠10 7 ♥A J 9 8 6 ♦Q J 9 ♣J 5 4 How to respond to partner's 1♥opening bid?

Thank you very much,P_Marlowe! I will keep your interesting sayings in mind :)

Yes, I'd like to know how could E/W go to game if North came in with 5C? And if they went to 5H, what would North do?

Starting with 1NT(S)-2D(W, Capp), how would you bid? Dealer:South Vul: None [hv=pc=n&s=skj3hq62daq974ck5&w=saq9875hkjt85d6c6&n=s4h9dkj3cqjt98742&e=st62ha743dt852ca3]399|300[/hv]

Is there anyone who knows please?
