Hanoi5 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Maybe I should have opened 2♣. I think I'd rebid 3♦ or 4♦ in both cases (though I could pass 1NT...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Google "Bridge World Death Hand". To be fair, the BWDH is usually 3-6 in partner's suit and your suit, or sometimes 3-7. 2-8 is a new one for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Still another case for the forcing jump rebid of a minor suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 You guys make heavy weather of a simple hand. Just rebid 5♦ and concentrate on the play ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Still another case for the forcing jump rebid of a minor suit.Uh, yes, you will find many a great hands to recommend strange methods on a forum of bidding problems! You guys make heavy weather of a simple hand. Just rebid 5♦ and concentrate on the play ^^The play will be easy, partner has the king of spades and ace of hearts. It's the post mortem I'm going to have to focus on since partner will think I'm an idiot. To this day I bid 3♣, and to this day I've never ended in clubs after doing that. Well ok, I don't really bid 3♣ since like most of us I have a special method to handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shevek Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Someone may as well provide the "normal" answer of 2♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Someone may as well provide the "normal" answer of 2♥ What is normal about rebidding a three-card suit and not rebidding your eight bagger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_KARLUK Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Outside HCP list :♠KJ♥AQJ♦Q♣AKQJTotal 23 HCPDealer has ♠AQ-♥KXX-♦AKJT eight times and void ♣ 17 HCP 1 ♦ >1 ♠ I would try to judge so :Visualisation may not easy by both sides, so better to make best guess. Partner's ♣ holding is immaterial, the real matter is to find 2 entries and cover cards there. Say p has ♠Kxxx and ♥Qxx. Is this his best minimum? Well I do not think so. In a good day for 5 ♦ : ♠Kxxx- ♥ QJx ♦ x ♣ I do not think even ♣ A helpful.At best may concede 2 reds. (♥A and offside ♦ Q at least 3 times.) So I rebid 3♦. Maybe this conservative approach keeps options open. I respect post, anyway I wld open 2 ♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzmiy Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks all for the answers. Funny to realize now that we have forcing rebid for ♣s in our system, but no such bid for ♦s :) Another couple of questions - if opps bid 1NT showing 2-suiter(what actually happened at the table) what would your 2♣ bid mean? - And if after bidding 2♣ you rebid diamonds? P.S. 7♦ was cold, but both tables played 6♦+1 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
