pbleighton Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Splinter in support of spades maybe, but then 5C is ???? Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 If you have not agreed to 2NT and 3♥ on these auctions as raises (offensive 2NT, mixed 3♥, then jump to 3♥ asked for 3NT with a ♥ stopper, 5♣ is final contract with running clubs. Next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 -3H is a splinter in support of hearts-5C no idea, but i would take it as a suit, no idea, why your partner did not bid 4C instead of 3H With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTired Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 without agreement it seems a little crazy, but I would take:3H = I have a solid running minor and a heart stop. If you can stop diam, we have 3N(with opps bidding 2 suits, you bid the stop you have rather then the stop you need)5C = Well, I still have my long minor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackojack Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 3♥ 4 card spade limit raise or better-5♣ Difficult to believe but I suppose in theory a slam try showing Ace clubs, denying ability to cue spades, and denying an initial ability to splinter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Looks like the 5♣ bidder has a strong hand and his opps are fooling around. I'd take this as clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 "Couldn't he bid 2♥ instead of jumping to 3♥ with this hand with spade support?" Yes, which is why I think it should be a splinter. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 The auction (we unfavorable, RHO dealer):1♥ - 1♠ - 2♦ - 3♥?4♦ - pass - pass - 5♣??pass - ... - What is 3♥ in your opinion?- What is 5♣? Pardon my strange ideas... 3♥ is natural, either trying to get to 3NT if you have a diamond stopper or to 4♥ if the 1♥ bid was a psyche. 5♣ is natural and to play. ♠ x♥ AKTx♦ 72♣ AKQJxx After the first three bids, somebody is psyching. Partner is figuring that it isn't you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 i want to beat partner with a pitchfork. Seems to me that 3h is a stopper ask with running clubs.I expect p not to have heart support as s/he has boldly bypassed4h on the way to 5c. It is also possible that p is showing a heart stopper and asking for a diamond... after all -- opps have bid two suits.I think it best not to pull out this sort of ape-s$#t in a pickup. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the 2♦ response to opener affects the meaning of advancer's bid. If you do not have this understanding, then you have to guess what it means.
