lexlogan Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 The auction 1C-1S-1NT-2H-pass looks normal. Having limited his hand, opener could raise with his four trumps, but responder's sequence gaurantees shortage in one or both minors, which is where most of opener's strength lies. At least one King is likely to be wasted. Responder likewise is cautious with a void in opener's first suit. Game doesn't look all that great anyway. As others have said, 2H has never been forcing in any variant of Standard American, but I've seen bridge columns in print stating otherwise and have played with innumerable partners who believe a new suit is forcing here. So I have some sympathy for raising to 3H opposite an unkown partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
