Cheers Steve Now I know why I like 2/1 ;) 1) 3http://mnet.bg/~mfn/h.gif since I play 4 th suit as GF so I am in no hurry, and I have slam interest. 2) 3http://mnet.bg/~mfn/h.gif same as above.

inquiry Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 There may be implications in acol (4 card majors?) that I don't understand, but I going to show my shape and stregth. First hand, I am bidding 3D. although 3H followed by 4D if given chance is ok too. Second hand, I am bidding 4D. I like my hand in support of diamonds, why not share this good news with partner while pinpointing club shortness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 first hand i bid 3D...tough hand but 3D locates club shortness, and it is generally better to support partner. second hand also 3D, not 4D. 4D just eats up too much space and i have a tough hand to describe to partner, so my choice will be to keep it low. Maybe partner will now bid 3 of a major, and i'll be much better placed to be in control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytoox Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Good question. I will bid 3D with the first hand, limiting your strength and narrowing your shape.If pd bid 3N, very likely, I will pass, reluctantly. With the second hand, I will bid 3H. If pd bid 3N, I will rebid 4D, this implies slam interest, showing a good hand. If pd bid 4M, I will carry on to 6 or 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that this is Acol is hopefully irrelevant in this auction as you would have opened 1H if 4-4 in the majors. However it is an excellent practice to mention the system in use.

The 4th suit force might be based on http://mnet.bg/~mfn/s.gif or http://mnet.bg/~mfn/h.gif support.I agree with you totally if playing 2/1, but in ACOL I think you are better of showing that 5th http://mnet.bg/~mfn/h.gif.
