No a poor 2♠ making 5 for a ZERO. At other tables a few North's overcalled 1 Heart and that keep people from some problems. One pair made 7NT bidding 3NT. I am guess no Heart overcall or a heart was still lead OR the defender with 3 clubs pitched a club

[hv=pc=n&e=saqjt76hj7dajc873&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1cp1sp2h]133|200[/hv] What is best bid now? Also is this enough for reverse?[hv=pc=n&w=skhk986dk107cak1092&e=shdc]266|100[/hv] Thank you

[hv=pc=n&w=sa52hat872dckqt87&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=p1dp1hp1np2cp2np]133|200| now what?[/hv] West now bid 3♣ and East passed. Made 6 clubs. Five club is an easy make. How can West bid differently to force the auction? OR is 3♣ a forcing bid? 2♣ was NEW MINOR FORCING one round. Here is East's hand [hv=pc=n&e=skt9hq6dq843caj52]133|100[/hv] Thank you

[hv=pc=n&w=saqt5hkjt8765dc73&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=pp]133|200[/hv] After 2 passes now what? This is what happened to us [hv=pc=n&w=saqt5hkjt8765dc73&e=sk9876hq92dj65ca6&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=pp1h2d2h3d4h5ddppp]266|200[/hv]

I play Reverse BROMAD where 2♣ is a 3 card limit and this allows for a 4 card reverse BERGAN raise of 3♣ limit and 3 ♦constructive. which is hardly ever used because 2NT also shows 4 card limit or better .

[hv=d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1dp1sp2dp3cp3np4c]133|100[/hv] 2 Questions #1 Do most play 4♣ as GERBER? #2 Is 3♣ new minor forcing or just a forcing bid or must it be a suit?

My original post was wrong. South was the one to rebid 3♦ Thank you

I have always played that one does not splinter in partners suit and Gerber is a jump over a NT bid. Thank you

[hv=d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1npp2dp2s]133|100[/hv] When north bid 2♠ she also added the comment: "I am not sure but I think 2♦ is asking me to bid a major" The bidding continued with East doubling 2♠ and North rebidding 3♦ , which she held 7 of them. The bidding now passed out. I called director but director said it was a case of mistaken bid and I should accept it. My complaint was about the comment made, not about failure to alert? What should I have done? Thank you

[hv=pc=n&s=skq763hqj64dacqj9&n=sat9842hdkj2cak72]133|200[/hv] South is the dealer and opens 1♠ Using splinter bid and exclusion blackwood bid this to get to 7 Thank you

[hv=pc=n&e=s3haq9853dt7cat52&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1d]133|200[/hv] Do you bid 1♥ or 2♥ with this hand? In either case what should westdo with [hv=pc=n&w=sk98752ht742d64c3]133|100[/hv]

First round, duplicated boards. We are playing boards 25,26,27. We play 25, no problems. Board 26 is played in 4♥ by opponents and with 6 or so cards to be played North claims for down one. Board 27 is bid and being played in 3NT also by North. After 4 cards are played it is noticed that one of north's cards is a different color. It is now determined that he has 14 cards and the extra card belongs to board 26. Director is called and gives us an Average + and NS average - on board 27. Now the question comes up about board 26. Director says that because we accepted the claim it was too late to do anything. The missing card was a diamond and when north failed to play a diamond on 2nd diamond south asked north if he had no diamonds. North said no. North played a trump then claimed. Should we not get an average + here also, or better yet should north be penalized for a revoke? Thank you

I guess my question should be is how to bid this after the 4♥ overcall. I believe that double of 4 hearts should have been penalty. I as opener was prepared to bid 4♠ after opening 1♣. I cannot understand why every NS isn't bidding up to 6♥ Thank you

[hv=pc=n&w=skt975hda8765cj72&e=saj432hdqjckqt543&d=e&v=b&b=10&a=1c4hdr4s5h5s6hppdppp]266|200[/hv] This was our bidding. West said we should play neg doubles thru 4 Hearts. Is there another way to bid? What would 4NT be? Should not make 6 Spades. Small club to Ace and a ruff on the go. Makes 6 Clubs. +300 was not good. Most were making 6 Spades, +680 and +1430.

Over a weak 2 or 3 bid we play that 4♣ asks for keycards and the Queen where 4♦ is none, 4♥ is 1,4♠ 1+Q,4NT is 2, and 5♣ 2+Q. If the weak bid is 3♣ We play that 4♦ is the special from of ace asking. 4♠ now shows 1 keycard. WE picked this up from Mike Lawrence. My question in this case is after 4♠ how do we ask for specific kings? 5♦ maybe, with 5NT showing King of diamonds. 5♠ would have showed King of spades. Any opinions.

Very Good. I believe that it would be 100% GF. Thank you

[hv=pc=n&w=saqt8752ha87d7cak&e=sj6hk62da65cqt653]266|100[/hv] Sorry, I had East hand wrong. No King of diamonds. Only 10 pts. We play 2/1 so a 2♣ bid was not available

[hv=pc=n&w=s6hkq6dqj8763ckj5&e=saj4ha54da54c9762&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=1cp1d2s]266|200[/hv] I felt I needed 18-19 pts to bid 2NT so I passed. West bid 3♣, South bid 3♠ which went down 3. How do we get to 3NT. What would a double by West instead of 3♣ mean Comments please

[hv=pc=n&w=saqt8752ha87d7cak&e=sj6hk62da65cqt653&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1sp1np4sppp]266|200[/hv] Made 7. King of spades on side singleton. We should be in 6♠. How to bid? Open 2♣? Opinions please.

[hv=pc=n&n=sqj876432hajd96c8]133|100[/hv] Do you open this in 1st seat? I don't like to open with 4♠ having an outside Ace. Maybe 3♠? I chose to pass and after LHO bid a♣ and RHO bid 1♦ I now bid 4♠. Very poor result. They cannot make more than 3 of anything and 4♠ was down 3. Opinions please
