TimG Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 As an added benefit, I don't need to worry about 7-4 hands in my relay structures :-) You don't get to show diamonds first and then canape into spades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Well I don't agree with 3S, or 4S. If we judge not to double, then bidding 3D looks very sensible to me. We have a very good hand and if we go for offence, let's give ourselves some chances. I think the whole point of this thread was that now we can't bid 3♦ like we would have done over a 1N response since that understates the spades and the playing strength of this hand. But does it still understate spades when your next bid is 4S? What does make you think there will be a next?, I think 3♦ showing a weak 5-5 is the standard treatent.

Wackojack Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Partner's "bad" 3NT bid gave me the opportunity to bid 4♦. I thought about it for a long time and passed. 4♠+1 at the other table -2imp :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that, at least it understates the spades. (Not sure if I would have bid 3♦ over a 1NT response though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
