Playing 2/1, partner deals and bids 1♠. RHO overcalls 2♦ as you show a good raise in spades by bidding 3♦. This is doubled by LHO and partner bids 4♠. RHO now bids 5♦ [hv=d=n&s=s8xxhakxxdaxxcxxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] Auction: 1♠ - (2♦) - 3♦! - (X) 4♠ - (5♦) - ? Questions: 1) Is pass forcing here? 2) What do you bid? If your answer depends on vulnerability, please mention. TIA

ok!

Manoj, If you read the posts above, you will find that it seems Meckwell were made aware that the opponents played Multi BEFORE the match started.

As others have said, this depends on what the rest of your system looks like. If you are willing to put in some serious effort, I would suggest you look at the 1NT chapter of Revision Club. It has a complete system after 1NT largely based on Al Roth's methods in Picture bidding. I think it is really good. It is available on www.bridgewithdan.com/systems

Is this one of your sarcastic remarks because not even me would play this in 1DX.. EDIT: Also, isn't it 1100?

The problem is that this is MPs and a chance to win 11 tricks would be great. edit: jlall beat me.. there should be a notification before submitting a post if a new post has come up during the time you were composing your post just like gmail.

This thread isn't about Team Ng complaining, is it?

Fred's Rule of 2... There are only 2 reliable rules in bridge: the Rule of 11 and Fred's Rule of 2. Fred Gitelman Bridge Base Inc. www.bridgebase.com I'll bite. What's your rule of 2? There are only 2 reliable rules in bridge: the Rule of 11 and Fred's Rule of 2. Fred Gitelman Bridge Base Inc. www.bridgebase.com Actually, Rule of 10-12 is not bad either! :)

1S for me. Hate anything else.

What is 3S? What is 1NT? If 3S is mixed, 4S. If it is purely preemptive, I might pass.

Fred, If it's not too much effort, I would like to understand why you dislike good bad 2NT. Thanks, Mohit

Agree with 5D and now pass. I like my chances of defeating 5♥. Even if it makes, bidding 6D is likely to lead to a poor score at this vulnerability. It would be a more interesting problem at favorable.

Interesting idea Jdonn. I never thought about it. Thanks

This would be my auction as well

3♣ good enough i say. Nice primary suit, Qxx in partner's suit, Axx and x in the unbid suit is also great. Definitely worth an upgrade IMO.

Easy pass

Yea, have a very good hand in context. 3S to communicate that to partner

In the win version, when a friend logs in, you can have an automated chat delivered informing that the friend has logged in. If she gets disconnected, the color of the same chat would change. It would be nice if this happens in the web version as well.

I am thinking why you didn't bid 2H in the first place! NFB?

[hv=d=e&v=n&s=skjxhat8xxxdcjt97]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] Second seat you pass. I guess few will open 2♥ but i did not like it with a void and strong side suits and lack of intermediates in hearts. Anyway, the auction proceeds (p) - p - (1♦) - 1♠ (p) - ? What's your take now? Good raise, fit jumps and splinter in diamond are all available.

Pass of course. Partner has a stiff club.
