mikestar Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Good bridge authors recommend rebid of the 6-card major UNLESS the 4-card suit is hearts ("never" bypass hearts) and with better than minimum, rebid the 4-card suit. [snip] There are several good authors. Not all agree with you, some do. [snip]If you can find a reference by a good bridge author who does not share the view I explained, share please. Mike Lawrence, in his workbook on the 2 over 1 system recommends to rebid the sixcard ♠ and not the fourcard ♥.He makes an exception when the heart suit has more HCP than the spade suit. But Mike Lawrence is not a "good bridge author"; he is excellent. :) As against this Marty Bergen teaches 6-4-6 as the order to bid these suits regardless of hand strength and whether the 4 carder is major or minor. Suit quality can still be taken into account: I doubt Marty would bid 2♥ with ♠AKQxxx ♥xxxx any more than Mike would bid 2♠ with ♠xxxxxx ♥AKQx. I could argue the case either way and the partnership being in agreement is probably more important than which method is chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
