luke warm Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 do you think there's a *best* way to play against interfence to the 1C bid? to me it doesn't necessarily make sense to continue as if no interference (for example, if control responses, continue.. if relay, continue, etc)... it should be possible to have bids that show shape, strength, willingness to penalize, etc... have any of you thought on this and if so what have you come up with? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Likely hard to figure out "the best". Imo, the most fun is: http://bridgeguys.com/pdf/RumbleVsBig1ClubAshton.pdf "Rumble is the most aggressive in-your-face method you can effectively play against strong one club" Rumble is fine, but i think what jimmy is wanting is how best for the CLUB opening side to continue AFTER interference. That is a horse of a different color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrothgar Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 The answer is far too dependent on the original methods being used... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 ok richard, that's kinda what i was wondering... that seems to imply that the original responses determine how to handle interference, and i was trying to see if that was necessarily so... responses are shape relays saf is strong artificial forcing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather, I think the additional memory load of switching from controls to relays is likely to be highly problematic. I also think that the strength of the initial 1♣ opening is likely to be quite important. From my perspective, the "big" decision likely revolves arround prioritizing semi-positives or strong hands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 What I use with Willem is following:over 1♣-Dbl-?:Pass = semi positive (1♦ now relays => scheme =)RDbl = double negative, not triple (1♦ now relays => scheme =)1♦ = triple negative (no relays)1♥+ = GF like original scheme over 1♣-1♦-?:Pass = semi positive (Dbl now relays => scheme =)Dbl = double negative (no relays)1♥+ = GF like original scheme over 1♣-1♥-?:Pass = semi positive (Dbl now relays => scheme +1) or GF hoping to penalizeDbl = double negative (no relays)1♠+ = GF like original scheme +1 over 1♣-1♠-?:Pass = semi positive (Dbl now relays => scheme +2) or GF hoping to penalizeDbl = double negative (no relays)1NT+ = GF like original scheme +2 after intervention with 1NT or higher:Dbl = semi positive / GF no 5 cardpass = double negativesuit = GF 5+ card note 1: we also use shape relays first.note 2: when opps intervene at 1-level, we gain when semi positive, and lose minimum space when GF. So if you play against us and want to help, bid at 1-level :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Thanks, thought something South African... Depends on what you use without intereference.But include a negative double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
