Fluffy Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 double is the fancy bid, but I am not that strong can live with a 3♣ partscore once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 double is the fancy bid, but I am not that strong can live with a 3♣ partscore once in a while. 3♣ is a GF for me. I know it's only a roundforce for some, but I've never seen it being passable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Like Harald, I believe that it is practically game forcing. Luckily, my hand is strong enough for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jboling Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 3♣ is a GF for me. I know it's only a roundforce for some, but I've never seen it being passable. I don't think 3♣ is forcing.Nobody has mentioned the Good Bad 2NT convention http://homepage.mac.com/bridgeguys/Convent...ad2NTCohen.html, is it that uncommon/unpopular? When using it 2NT would be a a weak puppet to 3♣, and a direct 3♣ would be stronger, probably GF in this case. Or does everybody play the reverse version (Bad Good 2NT), when 3♣ for sure is non-forcing and 2NT promises extras? Bad Good 2NT is my preference, the weaker hand is more common and the stronger hand can better afford to go slower, in case of further preemptive actions from the opponents. Using either Good Bad or Bad Good I would probably choose the stronger 3♣ bid in this case. Although Bad Good 2NT will in this case terribly wrongside 3NT, if it happens to be the right final contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Seems like a horrible situation to play G/B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Seems like a horrible situation to play G/B. Agree. A hand with clubs can pass or bid 3♣, or maybe double or cuebid if those bids are not reserved for something else. A minimum hand with 6+hearts or 4 spades can just bid at the 2-level.
