frouu Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 [hv=d=s&v=n&s=saxxhxxxdkt9xxckx]133|100|Scoring: Total Pointspass - pass - 1♣ - 1♥ ???[/hv] Money bridge game (low stakes) ...System : 2/1 (GIB)Is 2♦ ok here? GIB passed in this situation, so I'm a bit confused.what would you bid here if it wasn't a passed hand? I know that 2♦ is forcing, but I don't remember how many points it promises. Thanks in advance.

benlessard Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Making a negative double is also possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 2♦ is non-forcing by a passed hand!Negative double promises 4 spades and is not an option for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 2D by an unpassed hand is forcing, promising something like+8/9 and a good suit, the suit will be better, if you are weaker. If you dont like the suit quality, you either pass or make a neg. X. I am not sure, if GIB assumes, that the neg. X promises4 spades, ... maybe / maybe not. Pass is certainly the bid which will lead to the least expensive loss, and you may still recover, if opener is stronger.
