mike777 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I will start with a cuebid 2c..easy so far......my next bid may be very tough.As an unpassed hand cuebid does not promise support 100%, it is a general force, tell me more partner bid. Btw who is dealer EW or NS , it is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 2NT natural wtp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonottawa Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I loathe 2 Clubs. I shudder at the thought. I'll stick a Diamond in with my Hearts and bid 2♥ followed by NT if I get another chance at an appropriate level. I can live with 2NT or 3NT.

jdonn Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 2NT seems really normal to me, if partner has a singleton club he won't pass anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 2C. The advantage is, I give partner maximal room for describing his hand further. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 2NT seems really normal to me, if partner has a singleton club he won't pass anyway. lol, the second part of this sentence is blatantly false, agree with the first part though.

benlessard Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 For me a 2 over 1 isnt forcing so 2C is a general force up to 2nt and its the only bid for me. I see no reason to lose the first 5/6 tricks in 2Nt/3Nt when you have a much safer alternative. (1C)---1S-----(P)------2C(P)-----2S-----(P)------2Nt isnt forcing.

ochinko Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I don't like 2NT. It isn't forcing. Partner has 8-16 HCP, so I can expect him to bid further with 12/13-16, but not with less. As ugly as it looks, 2♣ is the only meaningful bid, followed by 2NT. Now partner will bid 3NT if his hand is in the upper two thirds of his range, not just the upper half :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 2♣ if that is a generic strong bid, 2♦ if it's forcing, otherwise 2♥. I think if a 2/1 is NF you need 2♣ as a generic force. If p is 5332 and minimum he will rebid 2♠ over 2♣. I can then try 2NT. I am not so fond of a direct 2NT. P will often pass when we belong in diamonds or hearts.

BobElliott Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 2C=transfer to D...then 2H...1 round force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 <snip>As ugly as it looks, 2♣ is the only meaningful bid, ... <snip> Just to get my post count up, why looks 2C ugly? We learn, if partner is dead min, or has something to spare,we learn if he has a 4 card side suit, we may even learn, hehas a 6 carder, beside the last point, we learn all those listedthings below 2NT. I agree, the cue would look ugly, if clubs would be exchangedwith hearts, i.e. they opened 1H, or if partner overcalled1D, since we are burning the whole 2 level, but they opened 1C, and partner overcalled 1S. With kind regardsMarlowe PS: If partner showes a dead min. with 2S, I will pass, but this may be partnership depend, if partner is dead min, we will strugglein 2S and in 2NT, and I prefer, that in this case partner plays his own garbage.
