SP: A102 He: KQJ10 Di: QJ1054 CL: 4 Pard open 1di, i bid 1sp and pard bid 2he? what are the best options: 2sp, 2di, 1nt?

you are red, they are white we play mp you are the dealer sp Aq8x he 10 7 xxxx di axx

good question: in fact east bid 2sp over 1di i forgot when i do the pool dont think it matter a lot for the quizz maybe i am wrong

qx in front of ak98xx on the queen play the jack appear behind the ak98xx is it a clear restricted choice? some people on web say most of the club player will falsecard the jack with dbl j10 so when the jack appear play the drop, when the 10 appear finesse. i wanna know what is the correct play? thx tkass

[hv=d=s&v=n&n=s5hak743dak952c104&w=skj84h82d874cqj82&e=sq92h1096dq63c7653&s=sa10763hqj5dj10cak9]399|300|Scoring: IMP 1sp-p-2he-p 3he-p-4di-p 4he-p-p-p [/hv] We miss the slam. Playing 2 over 1, south feel that he has already bid the value of his hand with 3 he (instead of 4) and he is not ready to cue bid over the game level. North say that the 4he bid show a hand with a lack of control like: kqjxx-qjx-x-kqxx. With that hand south say he will not bid 3he. Also , south think a cue bid by north below the game level may be made on a much weaker hand, so advance over the 4 level may be dangerous. Is The fact south refuse to cue over the game level denies control? Suppose north bid 4cl in the same sequence and south bid 4he, is this deny a di control? But in the actual hand is the 4 he bid deny a sp or cl control? so what went wrong in our sequence? thx in advance for your help i will appreciate ur guideline in cue bidding style

bidding proceed this way (all white north dealer,imps scoring)) west north east south ............ pass 1heart pass 2heart pass 4heart dbl pass 5di dbl pass pass pass north hand was: sp;q94 he;107 gi;k109852 cl;54 north did not take the dbl as penalty.is that interpretation correct? thx for ur advice tkass

1he-2di 3di-3he 4he-4nt 5sp-6he opps dbl but it didnt matter here to our discussion assign %blame for this disaster and comment on 3di,3he,4he,4nt thx for your advice [hv=d=s&v=b&n=saj6hj92dkj1065ck7&w=skq2h743d92c109864&e=s9753h86da73ca532&s=s1084hakq105dq84cqj]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv]

my guess is ace first if u dont need to retain control in the suit with your ace, in which case i play up to the queen without plaing the ace

One of us say : Playing lebensohl over 2cl Capeletti is the way to go the other say: we are better if we use dbl as Stayman and play our system integrally ignoring the opps intervention what are your tought on that subject thx to sll tkass

opps open 2sp, pard pass and rho raise to 4sp is the expert consensus is 4nt take out and dbl penalty or else? opp open 4sp, i bid 4nt as take-out and dbl as penalty is that correct? please dont be shy to elaborate in this area of bidding thx tkass

playing 1sp-4sp with: kjxx kxxx xx kqx do u need to alert 4 sp?

1he-p-3he(limit)-p 4he-p-p-x thx

i wanna know what is the best treatment and why i note that some play something called ronf that i unsderstand as only a raise is non-forcing. the other day my pard bid 2sp over my 2he and he not intended that as a forcing call i am not a expert, but at first glance if u play 2 nt as the only forcing call u might have to introduce ur suit one level higher and this can be costly. so let me know how u the expert treat this and why thx to all who share their knowledge

assuming u play capp or any conventions that allow a penalty dbl. what is the standard of the expert for this dbl in term of strenght requirement and shape? maybe the vulnerability change thoses reuirements? thx for all the answers tkass
