maggieb Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Why did I bid 3♦? That is awful, what does "4SF" even mean in this context? Is that your default bid for all hands good enough to force to game opposite a game forcing bid? Why is 4♦ kickback for clubs? That is another bad agreement, the set of hands that would bid 4♦ keycard now without having bid 3♣ before is very small. This sort of auction is already hard enough without taking very useful bids and making them completely useless! Anyway I would just bid keycard on the actual hand, but I think these methods are really poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Tyler this is a clear 3♥ call over 2♠. Sometimes you need to punt on hands with five hearts and no clear rebid, but this isn't one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Is this normal or Washington Standard? I mean, I would assume normal, but then there is no problem. Hence, this must be W.S. for there to be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 2H instead of 3D seems crystal clear to me. 2H will NOT be passed in case that was your worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 2H instead of 3D seems crystal clear to me. 2H will NOT be passed in case that was your worry. It might not be passed, but it will get you a director call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I like 3 Diamond, it asks the right questions: Do you have heart or an additional spade.Now I KC for spades. Oh by the way, if partner mada a joke with his 3 Spade bid, thinking he may stay below 3 NT with AQxx, Ax,xx,AKQJx, we will discuss this after he had made 6 Spade.
