dogsbreath Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 definitely forcing in traditional Acol - unless agreement to the contrary.. but maybe not in sayc or 2/1. reason is to accommodate p having a strong 4-1-5-3 or 4-1-6-2 which is not good enough for a strong 2 opening. In particular ..4-1-5-3 strong hands surely need a cautious approach till p shows some life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikestar Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 In SAYC and 2/1 this sequence is non forcing, but many partenerships prefer to play it forcing and I think forcing is the better way in this type of system. In big club systems, opener can't have a hand that can guarantee game opposite a 1-over-1 unless a fit has been found, so this sequnce can be played NF.
