kenrexford Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I find myself bidding three-card suits a lot, in a 2/1 GF structure, and my main partner seems relieved to finally "come out" as to this practice. I think of common examples: 2♣ to establish a GF1♠ with 3145 pattern and weak when partner opens 1♥1♥ after a 1♦ opening, for any number of obscure reasons1♣-1♥-1♠ as a convenient rebid with 3145 patternOpeer's rebid of 2♦ after 2♣ GF...and so on. I think this started for me with playing canape, especially the well-known examples when responding. It reminded me of the frequent creep into 1♦ openings with a good 5-card major and a good three-card diamond fragment, junk otherwise. So, any confessions here?

the hog Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Not unless I am playing systemic canape which we did with Caroline Club. Otherwise I prefer Bridge, not guessing games - "Does he have it? Maybe, maybe not. Who knows, who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
