paulhar Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Playing 2/1 absolutely game forcing, what do you think the auction 1H-2D-2H-4H all by one side shows? Note: the first choice does NOT imply that I think 2H shows 6, it simply is a possible vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicklont Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Opener has a minimum hand with a fivecard hearts. The 2♥ rebid is catchcall, is only shows minimum, nothing more. Responder has all his values in the red suits. I wrongly voted for other, because I clicked too fast, it's 3 or more hearts. Nothing mentionable in the black suits.

skjaeran Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 It's a picture bid with exactly 3-card support and no black suit controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Depends on your agreements. I realise I'm sounding a little fractious, but I don't get the point of asking about all these auctions individually. How can you say what this auction means without knowing what the 2H rebid means (you say you don't know if it promises 6 hearts or not), or what other rebids and continuations mean? Surely the meaning of 4H here depends on what other ways of raising hearts responder had, even potentially without starting with a 2/1?

peachy Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Depends on what you have agreed with partner. In my 2/1 methods, responder shows good long diamonds and good heart support, blacks not stopped (Q at most). Opener shows an opening hand and five hearts.

Fluffy Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I am surprised the the many picture bids votes. I though this was the way to bid something like: KxxQxxKJ10xAxx Ok. this was a bit forced. How about: QxQxxKJ10xxAxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture bid for me. 2452 shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Wouldn't reponder bid 2NT with these to get more iformation. Picture bid for me. 2452 shape with the first one ok, but I play that 2NT promises 4 card support, is this very old fashoined? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'd bid 4♥ with a minimum FG response hand, some 13-14 HCP and nothing very useful for slam opposite a minimum opening. I could have a cue-bid but partner should do the investigation if s/he were interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Usually opener will have a max of 14 hcp. Responder normally has a hand that wants to play in game, given opener's rebid. If your style is such that 2♥ is unlimited, then 4♥ is a picture bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Fluffy, I meant on the second round, not an immediate 2NT, which I agree, should show 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
