[hv=pc=n&e=sk84hakdaqt65ck74&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=2h2n3hppd]133|200[/hv] Is double here Take out or Penalty ?

[hv=pc=n&w=s86hk8dk98765ck75&e=saj43hqt94dacq642&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=1cp1dp1n]266|200[/hv] We play that 1♦ denies a 4 card major unless responder has opening count. With opening count and 5+♦ and a 4 card major East would bid the 4 card major after openers 1NT bid. I believe this is some what standard. QUESTION: Are any of these bids alertable?

[/hv][hv=d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1dp2cp3nppp]133|100|Does 3NT show 18-19pts???[/hv] If not what is the proper bidding to show 18-19pts?

[hv=d=e&v=e&b=6&a=p1c1s2sp3hp4cppp]133|100|This was our POOR BIDDING[/hv]

Is the Woodson 2 way NT legal ACBL? Can it be used in local games?

[hv=d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1dp1sp3dp3h]133|100[/hv] Is 3♥ asking opener if he has 3 Spades or is it asking opener if he has a club stopper for NT? I doubt that there is a 4-4 heart fit. Assuming it is one of the above What should opener bid if he has neither and what should opener bid if he has both a club control and 3 card spade support?

[hv=d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1s2hpp]133|100[/hv] When should West double. When should West bid 2♠, or 3♠ When should West bid a new suit?

[hv=d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1c1spp]133|100[/hv] What should West have to reopen with a double, reopen with a suit? 1 NT would be 18-129 pts.

West did double and after East bid 3♣ South now bid 3♠ which was the final contract

[hv=pc=n&w=s942hakq943dak5cq&e=sqjthj2dqj62cjt62&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1hp1np]266|200[/hv] We play 2/1 and 1NT is forcing . Should West just bid 4♥ or Should west bid 3♥ and East raise to 4♥ or something else Thank you

I take it that you would suggest a 2♦ reverse , not a 3♠ bid I understand that you need 4 spades for the splinter. Thank you for your time and imput

1♠ promises 5 Spades. We would neg double with only 4 spades

[hv=pc=n&s=s9hk964djt52cj432&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=pp2h]133|200[/hv] Is this bid LEGAL If not where in ACBL rules does it talk about this?

[hv=pc=n&e=sajth5daqt3cat872&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=1c1h1sp3h]133|200[/hv] Is this the correct bid here? If so Is it the best bid? Thank you

[hv=pc=n&w=s54hjdq62cakqj532&e=skqt9863hadkj7ct4]266|100[/hv] These were the East /West hands

[hv=d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1cp1s2h3h]133|100[/hv] What is the best meaning for 3♥? West could use 2♠,3♠ or used a support double to show spade support, also 4♥ splinter for spades That leaves 3♥ to ask for Heart control for 3 NT Is my thinking correct? Thank you

[hv=pc=n&s=sk85hkq87dq95ck93&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1dp2c]133|200[/hv] The pair play 2/1 . Is this bid legal? Must it be alerted? South says they 2/1 and wished to show game forcing values with his 2 bid They also play Montreal relay. Must 1♣ opener be alerted or is it enough to announce as could be short? I was once told that all bids must be alerted with montreal relay ,diamond response, Major response etc. Thank you
