Quarky Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 How do you bid the following hand playing standard 2/1? Your partner opens 1S vulnerable, IMPs (opps are passing) Your hand is 63QAKQ3287632 After your forcing 1NT, partner bids 2C. Your call?

Cascade Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Raise clubs. 3♣ will be enough since in the system being employed 2♣ is not a real suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hi, You go via the forcing NT. After that you look further, after you hear 2C, whichshould be a 3 carder (unless you require that 2D showes 4 cards), you know you have a fit, you show the fit with 3C.This showes a fit and inv. strength, surprisingly that is,what you hold. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the version of BART I know: 3c now is weak with 5 card support less than invitational values, a blocking bid.1s=1nt2c=3c With invitational values in clubs you start with 2d over 2c which asks partner to describe his hand further and then responder rebids 3c to show 5 clubs and invitational values.1s=1nt2c=2d(BART)2x=3c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe 'your' hand i posted was my partner's hand, so it was his action I was uncertain about. My partner jumped to 5C with that hand, right after my 2C response to his forcing NT. So i think we all agree he was too fast with his bid, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 All of your threads sure seem determined to find a consensus that your partner messed up. I'm sure you don't mean anything by it, but that sort of thing is generally considered to be in poor taste... Anyway I agree 3♣ is normal absent conventions that let you do things like 'strongly invite'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, well pard decided to try 5C, which got cracked by a guy holding KQJ9 :P This is a bit optimisic considering that your 2♣ rebid could just be 3 rather lousy cards and tha PD has a dubious stiff Q in a suit the opps have to have lots of cards in. Absent of BART, I'd bid 3♣. It is OK to have a max. Had the opening been 1♥, I'd now bid 2♠ to show a good raise of ♣, but that distinction isn't possible after a 1♠ opening unless you play BART.

benlessard Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I remember Meckstroth bid 1S------1Nt2C (could be 3)------------3C 5C The 1S was limited to 15 pts to the 3C was stronger than standard. he had AxxxxxxxAKxxx He said that since 3C tend to show 5C support or 4C and a lot of values. It also tend to show a stiff spade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
