Echognome Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 [hv=d=s&v=b&s=sak9hk62d4cakq862]133|100|Scoring: MP1♣ - (P) - 1♥ - (P)?[/hv] 1. What now? 2. Suppose you bid 2♠ (if you don't like it, you can pretend you subbed). Partner bids 3♥. (You can presume 2NT would be leb-like.) What now? 3. Do you think your assumptions are standard?

matmat Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 1♠ or 2♠ come to mind. 3♣ doesn't really do the hand justice. i guess 2♠ is close to being the least of all evils. i think i have to 4♦ over 3♥. This ought to be a heart cue, and i have a damn good hand for hearts ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 This is a strong 2, the sort of hand systems usually can't handle properly. I'll assume the "hole" in the system and pretend I have only 15-17 and try 3♣. I really hate inventing suits... I'd sooner open 2♣ than rebid 2♠ over 1♥.

jikl Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 IF I bid ♠ it will be at the one level so when partner bids 2♥ I can splinter 4♦. It is an ugly hand in anything that isn't a relay system. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 2N as leb-like is certainly not standard since the situation is GF. I would not have this problem playing T-Walsh, but if my opening suit had been diamonds I would rebid 2NT with regular p, but 1♠ if with a pick-up.

gnasher Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'd prefer to be playing 1C-1H-1S as forcing, and 1C-1H-2S as artificial and including 6-3 raises. Playing standard methods: 1. I'd bid 2S. 1C-1H-2S-3S-4H should show this type. 2. Over 3H, I'd bid 4D. As this is my only forcing way to agree hearts, it's fairly vague about the nature of the diamond control. Unlike in some similar auctions, it does promise a diamond control of some sort - with a very good 4=2=2=5 without a diamond control, I could bid 5H. 3. Yes.

Fluffy Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Over 3♥ use blackwood and blast 7 or 6. I would had rather bid 2NT than 2♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 1. 2S. 2. 4D, jdonn's rule. 3. I don't understand the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 3. I don't understand the question. The nice thing about being a mathematician is that you don't have to worry about other people thinking your assumptions are non-standard :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I have no idea what assumptions we are talking about. It is clear to anybody who has ever read the watercooler that there is no such thing as standard assumptions anyway, but let's not get into a religuous discussion here.

helene_t Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 The assumption was that 2N is leb-like after opener's jump shift. Sorry if sounding religious but IMHO it is standard for 2N not to be lebensohl here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 1. 2♠ 2. 4♦ 3. Of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Surely the perfect hand in favor of 1m----1H-----1S forcing. Otherwise there is np with 2S and 4D (showing shortness of course). Partner will assume a H fit unless you correct to 4S over 4H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 1. 2S. 2. 4D, jdonn's rule. 3. I don't understand the question. I swear you quote me more often when I don't know what you are talking about :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 lol http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navc...=jdonn%27s+rule Yes, however it does find "donn's rule, other guys droole", and also It's Josh's rule that sigs should have a maximum 400 WIDTH. That makes sure that folks with crappy monitors won't have to pan left or right. ... Josh’s Rule of Naming: Never pick a name that you have to spell every time you speak it, and/or have to explain how to pronounce every time you write it. Josh's rule of expression: "If you feel stupid while doing it, you're doing it right!"

han Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I was of course referring to Josh's: when three suits have been bid naturally and no fit has been established, a bid of the fourth suit at the 4-level is a cuebid for the last bid suit.

Oh actually I misread your auction you were answering, I thought partner rebid 3♠ not 3♥. Over 3♥ then 4♦ is a great bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Kranyak Jump Reverse: 1♣-P-1♥-P-3♦ = artificial, 6-3 with fragment support and strong hand. Perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 #1 most likely I would go with 3C Who said "If I survive this round I will be in great shape."? #2 4NT RKCB for hearts, partner will give me a 5431 shape, ... well I am not too far away with 6321 #3 bidding 3C is certainly not standard, but I doubt also, that bidding 2S is. 2 NT as Lebensohl is alsonot standard 4NT over 3H as RKCB is certainly standard With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
