I'm sorry, my examples were not the best of the world ilustrating the question. The solely intention was if there is a consensus about what major bid when you have both majors 4/4 Thtat's all. Your have 4/4 and you think you have to bid a major: you dont have a cuebid avalilable or something else which one? Always spades, always hearts, best major, it depends on:¿? Your hand is 4432 and you do have to bid a major (because you think you have, so wich one?) 1D (X) p _? 2D (X) p _? 3D (X) p _? 4D (X) p _? Negative double would follow the same principle when you have both majors and you do have to bid a major? 1C (2D) X 1D (2C) x 1C (3D) x 1D (3C) x 1D (4C) x Rebiding principle. and bid spades so if you have to bid again, you can bid hearts? Or space principle and bid hearts when weak? Maybe the answere can depend on strengh? I mean, for example. I think it is standard to answere 1S with 4/4 and a weak hand to partner's takeout double. Not sure if it would be the same response if the opening bid were a weak two. Still spades? I read a Marty Bergens example answering 3H with a weak hand to a 3-level preempt doubled by partner (with 4/4 in the majors), but he doesn't mention why hearts and not spades. Maybe is a partnership agreement, it doensn't really matters or I'm lacking something.

Hi all, when partner doubles asking for a major and you have both, response is dogmatic? Higher ranking first? More space? Are major responses similar to Stayman, in the form that usually you answere hearts when you have both majors because 2S denies 4 hearts? What do you bid? A1.- Takeout: minimun response [hv=pc=n&s=s5432h5432d432c32&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1ddp]133|200[/hv] A2.- Takeout: intermediate response [hv=pc=n&s=skj32hkj32d32cj32&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1ddp]133|200[/hv] A3.- Takeout: shapely intermedium: 5/4 or 4/5: Does it mind? [hv=pc=n&s=skq432hkqj2d432c2&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1ddp]133|200[/hv] A4.- Takeout: shapely intermedium: 5/5 [hv=pc=n&s=saj432hkq432d32c2&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1ddp]133|200[/hv] A5.- Takeout: minium with 3-3 [hv=pc=n&s=s432h432d5432c432&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1ddp]133|200[/hv] B1.- Negative double: majors 3/3 [hv=pc=n&s=sa32ha32d5432caj2&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=1d2cdp]133|200[/hv] B2.- Negative double: majors 4/4 minium [hv=pc=n&s=sa432ha432daj2c32&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=1d2cdp]133|200[/hv] B3.- Negative double: majors 4/4 intermediate [hv=pc=n&s=saj32haj32daq3c32&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=1d2cdp]133|200[/hv] Thanks in advance to everybody Kind Regards Paul_S

Hi all [hv=pc=n&s=skq32hk32dk32c974&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1d2cdp2hp]133|200[/hv] If everything is right so far, What do you bid? a.- Opener would answere 2♥ if 4/4 in the majors? right? b.- Game is still posible, right? c.- Spade fit is still posible, right? d. 3♣ would be overbidding, right?

hi all MP All red, various scenarious 1.- South is maximun. Double would be a clear cut action? [hv=pc=n&s=skq4hq832dq542c83&d=n&v=b&b=13&a=1sp2spp3c]133|200[/hv] 2.- South is still maximun HCP but Q♣ is a dubious value [hv=pc=n&s=skq4hq832d8542cq2&d=n&v=b&b=13&a=1sp2spp3c]133|200[/hv] 2.1 Still worth a double? 2.2 What about if East overcalls 2♣ instead of balancing? Now Q♣ value is almost nothing. Pass? still double? other? 3.- What to do in south now, with 3 seat opening? [hv=pc=n&s=skq4hq832d8542cq3&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=pp1sp2spp3c]133|200[/hv] Opener can be light now because of third seat opening 3.1. pass, double or anything else? 3.2. Change the Q♣ with Q♦: would you choose another different call because no wasted values? Ty all Kind Regards, Paul_S

Hi all, I would like to play dayly or weekly or both tournaments like daylong but with my partner. So, we can choose when to play and compete without the opps skill level issues. All opps are bots, same opps for all pairs. And even better than random groups is a ladder offline system. You have to qualify to the next level, play the same or go down a level. Some sort of tree, one group on level 1 with f.i. 64 tables, 2 level group with...64 each, four groups on the third and so on. All in all, thnks for the terrific software Kind Regards, Paul_S

Hi all pass 1♠ 2♥ _? 1.- 2♥ is non forcing 2.- Assuming opener will not rebid without full opening values althought it could be a bare minimun (Wrong statement?) 3.- Why most players (I think it is but I may be wrong) disabled forcing & autoforcing when bidding again? This matter a lot playing MP so we don't want to pass 2♥ when we can make 2NT but this maybe a bad approach too. Let say opener bids, ¿we revert to normal scheme or not? a.- 2♠ - Should responder bid again? If any bid under 2NT is forcing for one round we are in standard ground, but if not and I think this is not a very disclosed area, what would mean other opener responses like: b.- 3♠ now with 14+? c.- 3NT now with good 14+? d.- 2NT good 12 to bad 14? e.- 3♣ or 3♦ are still game forcing?
