1M 2m 3M means for me: trump is decided even if partner has void in my suit. and of course additional strength and slam interest. 1M 2m 4M sounds like a hand with less HCPs than normal open (like 9-10) with a solid 7+ suit
Thanks for information. That was exactly what I want... Some rude/crazy persons are obviously trying to disturb our regular tourney. I just hope this option will not affect on those who are in my welcome list but happen to be a "new" member
so this is the answer why my tourney can not include Chinese memebers only. (I'm a Chinese living in Germany, who create regularly tourney for Chinese players) is there any other option to allow exceptions (besides friends or local list)? thanks!
yeah it is a big problem, and it happened in my game, i kept thinking for long and made a 2♣ and prayed... fortunately my p then bid 2♥ :) i know pass is not a bad decision, just was afraid that my partner could have some points and would not dare to make balance bid, and we might lost a game.
3♣: puppet stayman 3♦: have 4 card major(s) 3♥/3♠: have 5 card major 3NT: no 4+ majors 3♦/3♥: transfer, can show SI with new suit 3♠: minor stayman with both minors or weak 6+ diamonds 3NT: no 4+ minors 4♣: 4+ clubs, possibly 4 diamonds also 4♦: 4+ diamonds, denies 4+ clubs 3NT: puppet to 4♣ after 4♣: pass with weak 6+ clubs or show 3 suits SI by cue the short suit
4C looks much too brave for me, even if 2H shows a strong hand... as 2/1 GF south has a quite minimum hand. i would bid 3NT instead of 2NT after 2H, if north corrects to 4S, then pass
Vul. both east opens 1♣ you have: ♠KQ ♥AQxx ♦KQxx ♣xxx what would you do? pass? (reluctance for me with 16 points) double? (i don't like cause only 2 spades, although 2 honors) 1NT? (not safe without club stopper if we would possibly go to 3NT and west would probably lead club) i personally chose to overcall 1D, what do you think? thanks & regards
