Codo Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Nobody will rebid this 4 card major. Well nobody besides me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 3♦ denies 4 hearts since if you have them you should bid 2♥ instead. And yet, I can not think of a single reason to follow that rule on this hand (ok a slight exaggeration). 3♦ it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'd bid 2♥, if partner is strong we might show our spade shortness by bidding clubs next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dicklont Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 3♦I'm looking for 3NT or maybe 5/6 ♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotShot Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 If he have a fit in ♥ we won't find it, if I don't bid them now.If we don't have a fit in a major, we would usually prefer to play 3NT.Bidding ♥ now should make it harder for opps to lead ♥. So I will try 2♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viren169 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hi, 3D seems right here, It is not worth reversing into a poor suit. Ocassionally I am happy to mis our 4-4 maj fit. Viren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Part of the reason I posted this hand was to determine if one could assume a balanced or semi-balanced shape for the jump rebid. Obviously not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 If anything, I think the jump rebid would tend to be *un*balanced, as the balanced hand can just bid a "gambling" 3N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely is the suit solid and thus this bid would be infrequent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benlessard Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 2H WTP Its surely possible that 4H in a 4/4 fit is a worse contract then 3Nt but i see no reason to bypass a possible H fit when i have a void in my hand. Also even if partner doesnt have a H stopper 3Nt may easily be the only spot. PS just in case 2H isnt GF and doesnt guarantee a 4 card suit.

mike777 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'll try 3d.....should partner respond 3h I will bid 4h.I agree with others that 3d implies an unbalanced hand but also note a jump rebid of 3 of a minor can have a pretty wide range. side note if we are playing "reverse flannery" this makes partner having 4 hearts much less likely unless she has a good hand.

RichMor Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 3 NT; solid minor and stoppers in the unbid suits. 8642 is more of a stopper than a suit. Semi 'WTP'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 If partner can bid 2NT as a weak call after 2♥, such that 2♥ can be slightly weaker than otherwise, I kind of like 2♥. A lot of good things may happen. If partner rebids 2NT, we will stop at 3♦ (probably). I think 4♥ might also be a decent contract. Furthermore, if 3NT it is, then I prefer partner playing 3NT. If 2NT as weak is not available, then 3♦ seems like the least evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'd take a deep breath and bid rebid 2♥ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 What do the 3D bidders do if partner rebids 3S? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 What do the 3D bidders do if partner rebids 3S? 3NT. Ugly, as it would be if we had rebid 2♥ also (maybe even uglier then as we will never figure out 3NT is bad if partner has a singleton heart for example.)

Why can 2♥ be weaker if 2NT is a weak call over it? If 2NT isn't weak then something else is anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can 2♥ be weaker if 2NT is a weak call over it? If 2NT isn't weak then something else is anyway. If Responder can bid 2NT with a weak hand, then we can get out at 3♥ or 3♦ easily. If Responder cannot bid 2NT with a weak hand, then I think (maybe I'm wrong) that you cannot stop below 4♦. Unless I misunderstand, I think that this means that you need values to play at the four-level opposite a yarb to bid 2♥ without Leb/Ing but values to play at the three-level opposite a yarb if Leb/Ing is available. I suppose that you could play that 1♦-P-1♠-P-2♥-P-3♥ and 1♦-P-1♠-P-2♥-P-3♦ are both passable, but it has been so long since I doid not play Leb/Ing that I cannot remember.
