whereagles Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 3♥, intending to rebid hearts next. Hopefully pard will read this as a stronger hand than a direct 4♥ bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 3♥ now. Not going to predict permutations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Can't think of a standard system where I would not bid 3♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 3♥, intending to rebid hearts next. Hopefully pard will read this as a stronger hand than a direct 4♥ bid. We agree ..seems clear to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 What's your plan? Get to game at minimum. 3H for now, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 3♥ - 3♠ - Now what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 3♥ - 3♠ - Now what? 4♣. But, fortunately I have discussed that in a bidding war between Opener and Responder about both majors, 4♣ shows a better hand than but similar to 4♥, whereas 4♦ shows a better hand than but similar to 4♠. Meaning, flag the major as a stronger bid than bidding the major. I'm showing extras because my hearts are so good and because I have first-round club control. Since a perfect minimum (♠A, ♥Q, ♦AK) makes a grand reasonably likely to succeed, I better show purity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partner's opening was limited to 15 HCP. 1S was limited, but does 3d promises more than a min,or could it be bid on any opening hand with 5-4 / 5-5? With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLOL Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 xAQJ9xxKQxxxx seems like a normal 3H then 4D. I think 4C is coming in either major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
