the hog Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Pd and I have just changed from 2 way checkback to transfer checkback, it seems to work well and I would like some feedback on this as well. (As you can see from my other post, we are in a major stage of system revision). 1C 1H1N Now 2C = puppet to 2D, , or beginning of invit sequence 2D = t/fer to H, can be weak or beginning of GF 2H = t/f to S, inv at least 2S = puppet to 2N to show invit hands with 4M and long m or 4441s 2N = normal 3m = invit 5/5 Say you hold a decentxxxxxxxxxxxxx Now... 1C 1H1N 2H t/f to S2S 3D = fragment So you have completed hand description Any thoughts, comments?

Free Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Seems pretty fine. Do you always bid 1NT with balanced hand and also 4 card S? And should the transfer always promise 5+H and 4+S? I usually play some sort of Checkback where the 2C-bidder asks about the shape of the balanced hand, which we all know should be the other way around. The problem with reversing this, is that the leader doesn't know a lot of HCP strength. The responder is at least invitational, but that's it. You probably have a system for slam aproach after such relays? What do you do with 4-4-3-2 and FG hand? 3NT, 2C, 2H? Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you transfer to hearts with 2h, opener is expected to bid 2h with 2/3 hearts then with the GF hand you bid again to show GF and opener is now expected to show 3 card heart support if he has it?I think this approach loses a lot of bidding space for bidding hands where responder has a major and opener support or where responder has support for opener's minor and a 5 card major. You need to ask for 3 card support and they if not you have to show support for the minor.. how do you handle that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 1N rebid can have a 4 card S suitOpener is limited to 11-15. With a strong hand resp can cue if support is shown, bid serious 3N or quantitative 4N Luis:When you transfer to hearts with 2h, opener is expected to bid 2h with 2/3 hearts then with the GF hand you bid again to show GF and opener is now expected to show 3 card heart support if he has it?I think this approach loses a lot of bidding space for bidding hands where responder has a major and opener support or where responder has support for opener's minor and a 5 card major. You need to ask for 3 card support and they if not you have to show support for the minor.. how do you handle that? It is a sort of relay style where responder describes his hand shape and opener makes the decision. It is true that showing the 3 card support is delayed for one round, but opposed to that opener knows the resp's full shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
