foo Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 ...and just out of curiousity, in your agreed upon system what hands are shown by1H-(2S)-X?1H-(2S)-3m?1H-(2S)-3S!? So you are very eager to quarrel with me about how stupid the methods, that I already declared as stupid, really are? You are an artist of some kind or what? No, I am not eager to argue. OTOH, I =am= having a hard time understanding your pard's thought process. Was bidding 4H really his best option given your agreements? So I'm asking questions.

I said this is an occasional partnership with very few agreements.Maybe 4♥ isn't her best option but she had exactly what I expected her to have because I know her style.

benlessard Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 1H----(2S)------??? In a standard framework 2Nt to 3H = nat3S = gf asking for a stopper or slammish raise3Nt to play4m = fit jump slammish or splinter slammish ( I think fit jump is slightly better) 4H (R vs W) = hoping to make game setup FP4H (fav or equal) = preepting or tactical doesnt setup FP. There is nothing wrong with playing forcing pass when you bid a vulnerable game over a non-vulnerable partscore. With H you have no reason to bid 4H as preemptive, if the opps are making 4S they will bid it anyway, suggesting a 5H save for -500 is dumb. If you have S & they have hearts then 4S over 4H doesnt setup FP. 4S over 3H turn forcing pass ON. If you dont want forcing pass ON bid 3S and 4S after they bid game. Your partner is too heavy for her 4H bid since slam is possible. Over your X she can still bid 5D to cancel the previous mistake but with xxx as trumps i understand her pass.

Well, we didn't play 4♠X.We played 5♥ one off because of the ♥KJx offside :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Being in 5H = good bridge. Opps can easily have a stiff D and theyre going only 1 down wich not not give you a good mp result anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Sorry to sound rude, but I really wonder who plays forcing pass (even in this situation :blink: ) and can't come up with a 3♠ cuebid when he has such a huge hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
