If it makes any difference you are playing 5-card majors and weak jump shift responses.

1S seems clear, I wonder what I'm missing. If pd rebids 1NT I bid 3C.

I'm quite liking 2♣. A 4-4 spade fit is unlikely to be our best spot with a side 7 card suit, and if pard passes I can't see 3N making as we need him to have the ace to make our clubs run.

Show you suits. 1♠, let partner think also.

[Fluffy]

1♠ looks automatic.

[inquiry]

I will rebid 2♣. The reason is three-fold.

 

1- Where are the diamonds. Partner will have a fair number it looks like. If he is not strong enough to bid again, 2C or 2S should both be fine.

 

2- If there is slam in hand, it may very well be in clubs even if we have a 4-4 spades fit. We could easly have a spade loser in spades but not in clubs.

 

3- Surely with this distribution, 2C will not end the auction and spades, being the master suit can be bid the next round.

But it won't show 4, 2♣ denies four spades. If that's what you want to do on this hand then ok, but don't think you can all of a sudden show them later. Your spade bids will be descriptive, showing a hand a lot like this one but with 1 spade less.

1♠. Please don't restart the "I play 1♠ as forcing" rants.

1S. I don't see why spades can't be our spot, and even if it's not when we bid clubs to the moon next partner will have a good idea what we have. 2C and then later bidding spades does NOT show this.

I really don't see any other call... if my partner bid 2♣ and I was looking at KJxx xxxx xxx Ax... do I have any choice other than pass?

 

So the downside of 2♣ is obvious. What is the downside of 1♠? If partner passes, we are probably in the wrong spot but, equally probably, we are not in a terrible spot (and he may have Jxxx Qxxxx Jxxx void ...at least, I might hold that.. I wouldn't dream of passing 1♣ with that hand).

 

If partner bids again, we can, if it seems appropriate, start rebidding ♣s... as many times as we need to.

 

Partners tend to like us describing our hands.... accurately

1S, I am sure I dont understand

the problem.

 

With kind regards

for those who wonder- 4♠ is not 100% here, but 6♣ seems to be not so bad contract.

[BebopKid]

I bid 1♠, on no fit, I bid clubs again.

[han]

Obvious 1S.

[skjaeran]

Obvious 1S.

Absolutely agree.

[Edmunte1]

1♠, wating for the news.We have enough time to rebid clubs afterwards. If we're going to make a big number of tricks partenr should appreciate at their right value the hcp in spades.
