jdonn Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I have seen Peter Fredin make a bid like this. He had something like xx Kx AKJxxx Kxx. Edit: Sorry didn't see this is a weak notrump. I think in that case it's not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Stiff ace of hearts, good support for both minors? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 bid your suit should be 4♣, if that hand exists. I'm passing this. I'm not redoubling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrexford Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Willing to compete to 4m, protecting against partner having a 2N-3N bid. Ditto. What else if something huge like ♠Axx ♥xx ♦A109x ♣AJ10x ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I've had this auction, although admittedly playing a strong NT.I bid 3NT with a big fit for both minors, and partner understood it correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I had this occur in a strange situation and got punished. I opened a (strong) 1NT and heard partner bid 2♠. In version 3.2 (made up) of the system notes he had provided, 2♠ always showed GF unless weak with both minors, 2NT relay to 3♣ and correct to 3♦ being the out for weak diamonds. In version 2.7, 2♠...3♦ was weak diamonds. I had not had time to clear this (one of many) inconsistencies prior to the start of game time. So, when RHO bid 3♥, I had a problem. With both minors, however, 3NT seemed fair, as I held a heart control also. Partner, who was responsbile for the conflicting notes to study, ended up taking a sacrifice red-v-white at 5♦ after 4♥, which was extremely costly (-500 against air). I'm still not sure how this was my fault, but whatever. At least he knew that I had both minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
