joker_gib Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 2NT Minimum lie :( If I open 1♦ it can be passed out and I have no rebid to show that hand Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 strong 1♣, however it's 15+ :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 1♦ natural and forcing :( http://www.geocities.com/gerben47/bridge/fantunes.pdf Playing standard: Still 1♦ but it's more problematic now, planning to rebid 3♣. If it's passed out I"m not that sad, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamaco Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 OOps, I voted 1 diamond in a standard 5 card major system, but I had not noticed that a strong club option was available. I open 1♣ However, in standard, after opening 1D, I plan to rebid 2NT if pard bids hearts, 3 clubs if he bids spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Well, my favourite system for 3154 21-counts at game all is forcing pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joker_gib Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 However, in standard, after opening 1D, I plan to rebid 2NT if pard bids hearts, 3 clubs if he bids spades. Sry, but I don't understand that ! :( In standard, if you rebid 2NT this is 18-19 and you have 21 ?? :) Why not open in NT then ?

coyot Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 No problem with 1♦. Our system defines that as 12+ HCP, the upper limit being either 3 losers or 20 balanced HCP. If 1♦ is passed, out, it's probably a good thing because there will hardly be any entry to partner's hand :( I know that I might miss a lucky game or three if partner responds with 1♥ and passes my 3♣ response - but I'm prepared to live with it...

P_Marlowe Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 1D. I cant bring myself to open 2NT, but I see the merits. No option is 2C, this bids makesit hard to describe the hand. Marlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I would open 1♦, 2♣ or 2NT depending on pard and what I had for dinner. Definitely 2NT if pard can't play'em :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I open 1♦, and should partner bid 1♥, I will rebid 2♣ which I play as "new minor forcing by opener". If partner rebids 2♥ over this, he shows a hand that wants to play in 2♥ opposite a 17-18 bal with 3 card support, or 17-19 bal without 3 card support. I will then rebid 2♠, showing 3-1-5-4 or 3-0-6-4 specifically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winstonm Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 1D non forcing. This hand just doesn't warrant a stronger action unless playing a forcing club. Winston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will then rebid 2♠, showing 3-1-5-4 or 3-0-6-4 specifically This sounds interesting, do you open 2 suiters at the 2 level? Well, of course, my strong two suiters go through the misiry transfers starting at two notrump or higher. My weak minor two suiters (5-5 or better) start 1D followed by a non-forcing 3C or off beat 1NT rebid (depends on side suits). Any hand with strong four card support for the major my partner bid over my 1D bid go through a jump to 2NT (Jacoby 2NT by opener!), so the 2C rebid here shows a number of hands...Strong reverse type hand (this is the anti-reverse starting with diamonds) with 5-4 in the two suits.Strong balanced hands, 17 upwardsA strong one suited diamond hand with 8 to 9 tricks (we have an acol 2D bid available with 9.5 tricks)This bid comes up surprizing frequently, because we use a 14-16 1NT and there are alot of 17 point balanced hands floating around.

If it's passed out I"m not that sad, anyway. 1D, With this hand opposite a 4 hcp mess, i won't mind sitting in 1D but I would expect some H bidding by the opps so I could get my C suit in cheaply.....any sign of life in pard gets 3C from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 This is a pretty easy 1♣ opening playing a strong or prepared club system. That's not to say the continuations will be easy after 1♣-negative, but at least for the first round of bidding you have an obvious call. Playing more standard methods, I'd tend to prefer a 1♦ opening. Certainly this could lead to missing a game, but it's not clear where that game's going to be if partner would respond very light with a five-card major. If partner dredges up a call, the subsequent auction should be relatively easy (I'll jump to 3♣ to force game, then try rebidding spades or notrump if partner preferences to diamonds depending on whether partner's first bid was in spades, notrump, or hearts). Playing a transfer-based system, this is an easy 1♠ bid (5+♦). The subsequent bidding depends a lot on partner's response and the choice of methods.

cinvent77 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Suppose you open 1♦. What do you bid after 1♦ - 1♥ - 3♣ - 3NT?I assume that 3♣ is FG in standard methods. Do you have a clear way to proceed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
