the hog Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 A question for anyone who plays this - or even if you don't if you have some suggestions. We are thinking of switching the 1S and 1N responses to 1H, so 1H 1S = forcing NT, (may have 4S) now...1N = C, or some 53322C = D2D = 6 cards H2H = Flannery2S = normal reverse, 17+ This looks fine, but.... 1H 1N = 5+S now...what do you bid with 2533? 2C I guess. Has/does anyone play this? Any suggestions as to advs disadvs? Thanks in advance, Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikestar Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 During the brief interval that Kaplan Inversion was GCC legal in the ACBL, I experimented with it and it seemed quite effective with few problems. Normally the rebid structure I used was: 1NT=4 spades, can't reverse2CL/2DI=Natural (but could be 3 cards)2HE= 6+ hearts2SP=4 spades with reversing values. Your transfer structure looks rather better. Over 1NT, opener rebids 2C with 2-5-3-3. If your 1DI is natural, you might consider a similar treatement where 1H is artifical and may have a four-card major, while 1SP(=hearts) and 1NT(=spades) promise five.

mishovnbg Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hi Ron! I play same thing, it is best! Only problem is with 5 good-6SP and unbalanced hand, too many time need to repeat SP suit and not enough space to bid side suits. Way I solve it in my system is 2DI transfer for 5+SP, good if only 5 and unbalanced hand. However I play different scheme of continuations and use 2CL rebid of opener as only relay, 14+HCP.
