kenrexford Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 One of the other threads got me thinking. 1♥-2♣2♥-2NT3♥-? As things are: 3♠ = spade cue, hearts agreed. Opener can bid serious 3NT.3NT = to play4♣ = club cue, but no knowledge of how serious Responder is, just that he has no spade control4♦ = same thing as 4♣, essentially (a cue, but no seriousness statement) As things could be: 3♠ = relay to 3NT (lead-director double would be by the person on lead if Responder then passes)3NT = serious spade cue4♣ = serious club cue4♦ = serious diamond cue3♠...4♣ = cooperative club cue3♠...4♦ = cooperative diamond cue3♠...4♥ = cooperative spade cue(Opener can reject relay by bidding 4♥ or making a cue.)

karlson Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I think this would work pretty well. Might be tough to remember though. with no wakeup effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieb Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Fine in theory, would never play this in practice. The gains here are (clearly, in my opinion) not enough to justify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Another win for 3NT "non-serious." You don't need any special gadget and certainly nothing specific to this auction, just: 3♠, 4♣, 4♦ = cue for hearts3NT = bad hand for heart slam (NF) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Agree, it's very nice. It's very specific to this auction so I wouldn't agree to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
