pass is kibd of obvious to me and now I cannot bid 2 NT with my regular partner, because this would be a spade raise. So I go with 2 Club followed by 2 NT to show this hand.

With a pick up, I pass and bid 2 NT later.

In a "you must bid anytime you have 12+ HCPs tourney," I had invent a 1 Diamond call.

I pass 1 as well (I wonder why that's not a poll option.) Usually I will get to double spades on the next round. When partner balances with 1 I'll try 2NT.

me 2

As to why: despite the misfit, we have strong positional values, and, absent an unlikely spade lead, if partner can raise to game, we will be able to play the hand almost double-dummy. RHO is not only subject to finesses, but also very vulnerable to end-game positions.

P P 1

Whatever you call North passes and your partner bids 1. What's your rebid and why?[/hv]

IMO
  • Over RHO's 1, 1 = 10, _P = 9, 1 = 5.
  • After partner's 1, 1N = 10, _P = 6

Pass

(With my regular partner I play that 1NT here shows H and D and I would bid that...This method is giving a solution for all hands that are difficult to bid otherwise....but it probably gives issues for all hands that are easy otherwise :) )

I'm getting in the lead director while I can do so cheaply - 1D. I will bid 1N over 1S.

 

If I pass the auction can easily be at 2S or even 3S next time it back to me.

I want it to be at 2 when it comes back to me so I can double. That is the ideal situation.

I have a problem grasping your internal logic - in another thread you wanted to keep the bidding open because the advantage to limited openings is in competition and disrupting the opponents, yet now in another thread you sit and wait until the 3-level, after the opponents have demonstrated their hands strengths and fits, to get involved.

 

Is this kind of like Alice in Wonderland - a word (in this case idea) means just what I say it means and no more?

You do seem to have trouble grasping the logic. :) But you clearly misunderstood my point in the other thread. In particular I was saying, it is NOT the advantage of limited openings that you get to pass the opening bid on stronger hands than in standard. Even if Shenken said it was. The advantage I referred to had nothing to do with the auction given in the problem, which was exactly my point.

You had a point? :)
