mich-b Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 3♣ = stayman3♦ = signoff in ♦3♥ = transfer to ♠3♠ = both minors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 System on, the transfer to opponent's major shows an invitational hand in the other major: Here 3♦ is invitational with 5+♠. 4♣ is never Gerber. It's bad enough to play it in an uncontested auction, in a contested auction it's even more terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 For serious partnerships that want something better... 3C->3D (see below)3D=Invitational or better with 5+ of the other majorCuebid=Stayman3 of other major=Both minors After 3C->3D: Pass=signoff3 of other major=signoffCuebid=GF with long diamonds3NT=GF with long clubs (not forcing)4C=GF with long clubs (forcing) There is more to it than that, but if you can deal with the above then you can probably work out something sensible for followups sequences and (if you want) for sequences not defined above.

Impact Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 When it is a Major they have bid, 3C= Transfer to OM which allows superaccepts below forcing to a higher level3D= Stayman for OM 3H= transfer to C (note the availability of super accepts low again under 3NT with 2 available to suggest the top Honour and the suit will run anyway)3S= transfer to D (see above)4m= minimum GF on presumed fit 55 in minor & OM I accept that this loses on certain auctions with D which could otherwise play in 3D but it allows much greater fine tuning for invitational/pushy auctions to both game and slam in virtually all other scenarios regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
