if your partner open a 2 weak he have in most case a 6322 or 6331 distribution he may have a 6421 distribition so negative double do not make sense . in you case the best option to compet is biding your hire ranking suit and maybe the lower ranking suit later

9 HCP is close to average as the average hand have 10 point a hand like ♠ xx ♥ x ♦ K Q J T X ♣ Q J T 98 HAVE 6 loser and is good enaught for a unusual 2 NT even Vulnerable add the A or King of ♣ and you are too good to use the Unusual 2NT Goren say i don't use the unusual 2 NT If i unestand you corectly the unsual isn't very good but fill a gape in your defensive biding .. Michel

evrything is looking wrong the biding : 5 cards ♣ and splinter ♠ 1NT ? with a 1=4=4=4 maybe what was the lead ? declare has an easy 1NT 4 ♣ 1♥ 1♠ 1♦ so the bad defense can create an over trick but i see no way to defeat the contract on a red lead

for biding w/o the pre it is quiet simple [hv=d=w&v=0&b=8&a=ppp2cp2dp2np3c(baron)p3dp3hp3np4dp]133|100[/hv] now south have to ask why his partner bid 4♦ why he didn't pass 3NT 3 club is baron 3D is 4 cards diamond 3 Hearts is 4 cards heart 3nt deny 4 card major and 4 diamond is a slam invitation in Diamond !

as I write before the best bid i can make is Double partner must decide 1 to show his "exelent" 4 cards ♥ by biding 4 ♦ or his 2 "poor" 5 cards ♦ :) by biding 4♣ whatever he choose 4 NT as RKCB 1430 to his suit (not sure about this) 1 he answer 0-3 5♦ 2 he answer 5♣ 1-4 on second option i may try 6♦ on the first IDK

every system have his problem "natural system " will find most of game and stop in right part score when distribution is abnormal 5-5 6-6 7-4 the "Natural system" and most artificial system have a problem to describe the hand Slam are rare but i think that only 50% are bid and made sometime I bid a slam and it fall sometime I don't bid and make it cant remember the biding but remember the play my RHO is playing 6NT I HAVE 3 hcp (-1) 6 CARDS♦ Q J xxx x i led the Q of ♦ dummmy have K x declarer is thinking 5 minute and decide to play the K my partner have the Ace cash the ace and return a diamond 6NT -5 I am not braging about this hand I was a novice the contract can be made from the other side Michel

3NT was 16-18 with a balanced 3=5=3=2 10+16= 26 so game is on fast arival and also promised stopper in unbid suit 2NT same distribitution with 11-14 HPC when partner response 2 in a minor on a 5 cards major opening he may have 3 cards suport inviting or better he is not limited so the best i can do is to describe my hand as best as i can with a stronger hand or lacking a side stopper would have to rebid a 3 cards suit this is as far that i can bid with limitation of the "natural" 5 cards Major Michel

the unusual 2NT IMHO Unusual 2NT is a bad tool of the defensive biding you are going to try to find a fit with 2 suit of 5 to play at level 3 half of the time in a 5-2 fit The 5-5 distribution is not common for 9 HCP 5521 3022.88 TO 1 MILION 5530 861.61 6520 641.61 6511 691.83 ---- 5217.78 for 9 HCP the probality to get a 5-5 Distribution is 0.5% if you add the 8 HCP and 10 HCP YOU GET 1.5% This number don't take in acount the possibility that 1 of your 5(6) cards is the suit of the opener or the 2 suit you bid with Michael cuebid so the result is divide by 6 in Michael cuebid you divide by 3 a stiff Honor K Q J should not be counted information on satistic are from the translation of a strange system called Mutos https://bridge-tips.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/MutosEnglish.pdf Michel

dont lke 5 cards Major like your sequence and explanation ! it is hard to described a 7=4=0=2 in "normal system " I think in Moscito or Scream the hand will be described quiet quickly and the slam played by the hand with 3 spade

your partner is quiet strong but north raise to 3 ♠ and they go 1 down as much I can remember ♠ Ax ♥ J T xxx ♦ K J X ♣ AK NORTH HAND : ♠ K xx ♥ K T ♦ Q ♣ Q xxx xxx he know op have 8+ ♥ and 24-30 HCP so make the only bid to try stopping you from finding your ♥ fit -50 is a good score 1♥ 1♠ 2♣ and 1♦ 5 trick

a running minor W/O THE JACK ? AS FAR AS I KNOW a runing minor is AKQJ xxx and pray partner have some cards T 987 32 can be Held by 1 oponet on you have 5 trick in suit !!!!

you may find partner with♠ x ♥ K xxx xxx ♦ k xx ♣ xx and slam is on in ♥

Advencer response to t/o double over 3M • Over 3 M , the scheme looks more familiar but still some- what unusual as a two-way bid is involved. 3♠ If available, nat (but may be short), nf. 4♣ This usually shows ♦, but when rebidding 4 oM , that message is cancelled and instead shows an indepen- dently playable suit if oM is unbid (as in [1♣(3♠)4♣; 4♦-4♥], else CoG with minimal supp for partner’s suit (as in [1♠(3♥)4♣; 4♦-4♠]). 4♦ trf → oM , with strength and sets up all forcing passes even if just supporting partner. 4 M trf → ♣. 4 oM nat, nf. CoG if an unbid suit. was copy past as is ....

so the only option left is a double advancer have to bid ... as much as I can unerstand 4♣ is a transfer to ♦ 4♦ transfer to Heart 4 ♥ ?? 4♠ transfer to club will add a copy of his answer

i will be picky the 3 ♠ steal from you your "natural" strong opening structure over 3M double off shape 2+ ♠ 14+ HCP 3NT a transfer to 4 ♣ can be any single suit minor may be ligh but major are strong 4m 4+♥ and 5+m 4 heart 6+ heart 4N minors this is from the book terorist moMscito writen by Bo yin Yang more to add.

4♣is Gerber ? Slam invite in ♣ ? S/O ?

Defense biding is the more complex part of biding . biding after interference is even more problematic. as a beginner i made all possible mistake in biding and playing. most of book on bridge have little to say about defense biding. the other side have a small adventage of opening the biding . after 4 year of learning bridge playing an average tournament in the weekend. i didn't ever Know what is landy astro and the long list of defense aggaints a "STRONG NT opening" so i have not a clue how to bid againts them until i asked someone how you deal when your partner 1NT is overcalled this open the gate to find Rubensolh -not the best tool but - simple and can be very efFective like sending my partner to 6♥ after interfernce over his 1NT and he made it .

I think EHHA

very nice hand as it almost never happend to me I guess I will bid 4♣ p/C if partner have 7 ♦ and 4♣ even 4♦ can fail if he have 7 Club he may do an over trick

found 1 for Moscito Pass 40.98% 1♣15.60% Strong, artificial, and forcing 1♦11.79%4+ Hearts, could have longer minor~ 9 - 14 HCP 1♥10.71%4+ Spades, could have longer minor~ 9 - 14 HCP 1♠3.89%4+ Diamonds, unbalanced hand, could have longer clubs~ 9 - 14 HCP 1N 6.81% 12 - 14 HCP balanced other opening have under 3% 2♣1.48%6+ Clubs, ~ 9 - 14 HCP 2♦ 2.55% Mini-Multi, 6+ Hearts or 6+ Spades 2♥ 2.52% 5+ Hearts, undisciplined~ 5 - 10 HCP 2♠ 2.55% 5+ Spades, undisciplined~ 5 - 10 HCP 2N0.64%Bad three level preempt in either minor 3♣ 0.43% Natural and constructive preempt Promises two of the top three honors 3♦0.43% Natural and constructive preempt Promises two of the top three honors 3♥0.79% Natural 3♠0.77%Natural 3N0.11% Four level preempt in either minor

I liked the answer so dealer show now 4♥ or his ♠ stoppers ? and go to 2NT or 3 NT making 2NT +3 for 210 or 3NT +2 for 460 ? great the other team with losy bid and losy play just collected 800 point in defense

very good example of the Hole in the defense based on Laurel and Hardy as somebody says the rule are made to be bend and broken ! I consider 3 option to bend the rule 1 bid 1 NT miscount your 6 spade 2 pas and pray you can enter later with 2♠ or 3♠ 3 bid 3♠ or 4 ♠ I can see 5 loser maybe I lose 1 more maybe I lose less

tHANK YOU ! VERY INTERSTING AN lONG DOCUMENT I understand the question in a diferent maner . in "normal" system you pass 55% of the time you are dealer it can be more or less the average for 1minor is greater the 1 major who is greater then a 15-17 NT 2c is so rare that when it hapen I asking myself if it is real yesterday at acol club partner open 2c i anser 2d with 5♥ to the King (K xxx x) and 2 Black Quenn partner rebid 2♥ with 4♥ balanced hand and 25 point i bid 3♥ and he close at 4♥ I think he ask how many time i open 1 club 1 diamond 1♥ 1♠ 1 NT ... in a system

IS IT FORCING?
