Guest Jlall Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Obviously this depends a lot on your methods. If I had a forcing raise of some kind I'd use it. If not, I'd bid 2C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmunte1 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 2♣ followed by 3♦ should be OK. Starting with 2♦ won't bring in the scene the great clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 2♣ first and maybe 5♦ later (4N if pard takes that as "diams + better clubs") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 3♥ for me (=void), but then my 1♦ opening is non-standard, showing 4441 with a singleton ♣, 5+ diamonds unbalanced or 18-19NT with 5c♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I also like to splinter this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoKole Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I like to play inverted minors, as it is very hard to give a forcing raise in a minor in standard bidding. I play it as forcing for one round in a regular partnership, and usually we will show strength looking for NT. If partner bids 2 spades showing strength, I will use a splinter bid of 4 hearts and see what partner does, if he bids hearts showing strength or 2NT showing stoppers in both majors, I will bid clubs as a natural new suit bid. This would be an unusual auction because if I didn't have anything special and had clubs stopped I would just bid 3NT or pass according to strength. Using standard methods, I guess I would use a splinter bid of 3 hearts and then bid clubs followed by a raise in diamonds and hope that partner could reevaluate his hand. I probably won't get the chance to do all of this though as this will probably be a contested auction. Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raivis Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yeap, i'm think.Contract played from right side (key cards placed in opener hand)Hand not in trouble to 5 one of minor.But opps in trouble - missed 4 in one of major. Probably biddings: 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - X - 3♣ ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - X - 3♦ ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♥ - 4♣ ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♥ - 4♦ ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♥ - X ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♠ - 4♣ ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♠ - 4♦ ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♠ - X... Partners in 2.round likely shows balance and suit preference ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
