(1) seems like a system issue - if you're playing 3♣ as pass/correct then you correct, else you raise.

 

(2) pass, I have more defense than I promised and no obvious great fit

Agree with Noble.

(1) seems like a system issue - if you're playing 3♣ as pass/correct then you correct, else you raise.

(1) For those who play 2N asking for the minor other new suit bids (like 3♣) are often just long suits, not necessarily good hands. I suppose over a weak NT you might want it to show a better hand with it's own long suit? Playing 2N asking for my minor, unless I'd agreed that this 3♣ was both it's own suit and a decent hand I would just pass.

 

Obviously if 3♣ is pass/correct I bid 3♦.

 

(2) Pass.

3[D] obviously and pass, assuming the ace of spades is on my right.

1. gawd I hate the C-convention. 3♦, followed by a nr. of clubs if pard doesn't pass.

 

2. Pass, ofc. So obvious it can't be right.. lol

[Gerben42]

1. 3♣ should be pass/correct (agree with pd!), so 3♦.

 

2. Pass...

[pclayton]

I think Mike would have mentioned if 3♣ is p/c. I bid 4♣. if my 2nd suit was clubs, I'd be making more noise here.

 

I pass on the 2nd and don't consider it to be close.

1.  Red on white ♠Kxxxx ♥- ♦AKxxx ♣xxx

(1N) 2♠ (_P) 3♣

(_P) ??

1N =  11-13

2♠ = ♠ and a Minor

IMO 3♣ is Pass or correct so 3♦ = 10

 

2.  Both ♠K ♥9xxxxx ♦xx ♣KJTx

1♦ (1♠) _X (4♠)

_X (_P) ??

IMO _P = 10, 4N = 8, 5♥ = 6.
