mtvesuvius Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 V vs NV at IMPs you hold: ♠AQJ9x♥Kxx♦9x♣xxx RHO opens 1♥, you overcall 1♠, LHO passes and partner bids 2♦, pass to you. This bid is undiscussed, do you assume it to be Forcing or NF-Constructive? What's your bid here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Without discussion this is forcing. Anyway i would bid just to avoid disasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 In my circles it's NF even without discussion so pass would be right, but I can certainly understand bidding just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I had passed without much thought. No success. No problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

se12sam Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Consensus seems to indicate non-forcing / passable (My belief so far was "it as forcing as long as partner is not a passed hand") Anyway, please help me with my related question: * What are the forcing options available to partner?

Finch Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I think this is a geography thing. Most decent English players play change of suit as forcing after an overcall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I think this is a geography thing. Most decent English players play change of suit as forcing after an overcall. That's what I prefer too. I believe standard over here (if there's such a thing) is that a new suit is forcing at the 1- and 3-levels, NF at the 2-level.

mtvesuvius Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 My next question is what do you prefer to use over an overcall any why? If NF, what is the best way to show a forcing hand? What are the advantages/disadvantages etc? (I will grade your essays on a scale of 1 to 6, critiqueing them for spelling etc... :P) Thoughts here are appreciated! Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 With a regular partner I prefer transfers from cue to raise (NF Const if a 2/1 below the cue). With a pickup partner, I prefer NF Const. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
