lowerline Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 As you probably know, Fantunes play an EHAA-kind system. Their one-level responses to the unlimited one-level openings are limited though. I was wondering how they play the reverse rebids by opener. An example to clarify: 1♦(1) 1♠(2)2♥? (1) 14+ natural unbalanced(2) 0-9 natural What does 2♥ mean? Or, in general, what do these reverse rebids mean after a one-over-one?

Gerben42 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 1♦ - 1♠ - 1NT is art. shows most 18+ hands1♦ - 1♠ - 2♥ shows 6 - 4 (18+) Because of the 1NT rebid they don't really have reverses after 1♦. After 1♣ they play "normal" reverses: 1♣ - 1♦ (♥) - 2♦ = 18+, 5+♣ 4+♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Responder has now already denied a 4crd major. Also 18+ 6-4 then?Do you know what their requirements for a balanced 15+ hand are? For instance, do they open a 2-4-5-2 with 1♣ or 1♦ (assuming values in the doubletons)? Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 1♣ - 1♠ - 2♥: Artificial forcing bid1♣ - 1♠ - 2♠: Unbalanced 18-20 with 3/4♦ (figures to have a fit somewhere) After 1♥ - 1NT Gazilli applies, again taking care of the 18+ hands, but 2♠ is 6-4 18+ The forcing hands after 1♣ are in Multi-reverses i noticed... 1♣ - 1♥ - 2♦ and1♣ - 1♦ - 2♠ Or you could simply play the system on my homepage :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 With Gert I play some modified version as well, without a polish twist. :) After 1M openings you have Gazzilli to help you out. Also, 2NT is used for GF 6-4 distributions. After 1♦ openings you have 1NT or 1♦-1NT-2♣ to show 18+ hands. Reverses typically show 6-4, although I think it might be better to use these for weak hands and 5-6. 2NT is used for GF hands, so you might as well make use of that tool for your 18+ 6-4 hands (which are basically GF most of the time). After 1♣ openings we have several ways to show the hands we want to. The main part is 1NT and 2NT being 15-18 and 19-20. The rest needs some artificiality to deal with strong distributional hands and 23+ balanced:- 1♣-1♦-2♦ and 1♣-1♥-2♦ as 2-way, while reverses in the Majors are always natural.- 1♣-1♦-1♥ and 1♣-1♥-1♠ are also 2-way: either minimum and support or 23+ balanced.- we use 1♣-1♠-2♦ as (2)3-way, to distinguish between hands with both minors (14-17 and 18+) and 23+ balanced- other bids are common sense.The advantage of all the 2-way bids is that opener can easily show what hand he really holds.
