Fluffy Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 3♥ is a cuebid in the given auction If the bidding is instead 1♦-1♠-X-2♠-3♥ then no, it is not a reverse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph23 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 It's a cue bid of West's suit ... do you have the bidding right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 If the bidding is instead 1D-1♠-X-2♠-3♥ then no, it is not a reverse It sure is, and opposite partenr's possible 5/6 hcp it is forcing to game. In the given auction 3H makes no sense, without an agreement which I don't play. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double showed 4 hearts, so 3♥ is just a raise, showing a little extra, but I have never heard of it played as forcing. Partner didn't double with 5hcp btw unless he has 5 hearts or more.

jdonn Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Presuming the auction we all think you meant, of course it's not a reverse. This is by the same logic that 1♦ (1♠) X (P) 2♥ is not a reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I assume west overcalled 1♠, not 1♥, north made a negative double showing 4+♥'s and east raised to 2♠. If that's correct, I totally agree with Josh: 3♥ is no reverse. It just shows 4-card support and denies an absolute minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharon j Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 ok, thanks everyone, was a raise and not a reverse or cue bid. I guess the bidding looked weird, I'll try it this way P (P) 1♦ (1♠) X (2♠) 3♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
