kgr Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 What convention do you use after opening 3NT (or rebidding 3NT showing a strong hand)?..and how do you use it with following hand:[hv=d=n&v=n&s=sxxxxhqxdqjxxxcxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP2D!-2H!3NT2D=multi3NT=25-27[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Stayman and transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Anything you use over a 2 NT opener/rebid. If this includes puppet stayman transfers and bids to show one or two minors, fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 What an awful system! To make the best out of it, play normal stayman and transfers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Looks like an ew system to me too. Isn't there a strong 2♣ or 2♦ opening which you can rebid 2NT with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manudude03 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I would personally play: 4C- stayman (4D- both majors, 4NT neither)4D/4H- transfer4S- both minors4NT- quantitative5C- super gerber Undiscussed, I would assume 4S was also a transfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I thought Baron and transfers was "standard" but I suppose Stayman and transfers has merits, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bende Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 4♣ = Both opener and responder starts showing suits. If a fit is found, aces are shown on the 5-level. 4NT is used when suits run out and no fit is found.4♦ = Transfer to 4♥, responder then passes or places the final contract or bids 4NT which asks opener to choose between the minors4♥ = 5+♥, forcing (4NT by opener is natural)4♠ = 5+♠, forcing (4NT by opener is natural)4NT = Invitational to 6NT5♣ = Natural, invitational to 6♣5♦ = Natural, invitational to 6♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 The system is awful, I Agree with Helene and Bende, Baron or something like looks much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a strong 2♣ or 2♦ opening which you can rebid 2NT with? The system is awfulWhy do you find the system that bad? btw: We play 2♣ opener weak with ♣'s (5c♣ and 4cM or 6c♣) and that opening happens a lot and is effective.

kgr Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I wondered what was best system. Over 3NT we play:4♣: Baron, both bid 4 cards and 4NT is sign off.4♦ and 4♥ is transfer.4♠ is both minors, opener bids 4NT without 4c minor.4NT is quantitative.(bids at 5 level are undefined. suggestions welcome :angry: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Leuven they play this 2♣ opener a lot, but I have no idea why. They never got a good score against me after opening one of these...

mikestar Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 If you absolutely must play this, same methods as over 2NT eases the memory load for a rare sequence. Kokish [2C-2D-2H=primary hearts or balanced GF] is miles above a natural 3N opening or rebid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
