Gerben42 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 We should be using base 12 anyway. So I vote for AKQJT98765432. Or we can use the Roman X for ten but people like x to show a small card... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantumcat Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 And it's only fair that, the ten being an honour card, that it gets to be denoted with a letter same as the other honours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navit Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I opened with 1 C .pass . partner responded 1 H. PASS. I HAD 4H.18 HCP, 4C, 3S and 2 D. Someone told me to rebid 3S. Is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I opened with 1 C .pass . partner responded 1 H. PASS. I HAD 4H.18 HCP, 4C, 3S and 2 D. Someone told me to rebid 3S. Is that correct? I'd just rebid 4♥ myself. 4 card support, enough to make game across a minimum response, balanced hand (no singletons). If I don't bid 4♥ on this hand, when do I? And no. While I know that some people bid 3♠ ask for a spade stopper for NT, I have no idea why you'd want to look for no-trump, and at any rate I'd play it as Splinter on that sequence ("spade singleton, 18+ hcp, wanna try for slam"), since if I have good minors and fair support in hearts I could just bid 2♦.

SoTired Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I opened with 1 C .pass . partner responded 1 H. PASS. I HAD 4H.18 HCP, 4C, 3S and 2 D. Someone told me to rebid 3S. Is that correct? dealer, 18hcp, 3=4=2=4, opps silent, bidding was 1C 1H. Some said rebid 3S. Maybe you should never take advice from those people again. 2S would be a GF jump-shift, not 3S. 3S would be a splinter with singleton/void spade, 4h, GF. Better bid is 4H. Simple and to the point. You have a GF hand with 4-card support. No more, no less. Why muddy the waters and make partner guess what to do next? Since partner does not know about your heart support, anything partner bids will not likely be useful information. "Support with support" KISS.
