Pass 3H or bid 4H


ONEferBRID

Recommended Posts

Definitely game the way I play super accepts. When I do it, I mean it.

 

The way I see lots of people playing them, I don't want to bid game with this opposite a random 16 with four hearts.

If you restrict super-accepts to hands which make game opposite a crappy 5-count, don't you have problems when responder has the borderline 7-count with a singleton? (Or if that's always an invite, make it a 6-count - hands which are worth game opposite a fit, but aren't really even invitational without one)

I can show those as responder in my prefered system (light invitational responding hands with two suits). Anyway I don't think this 5 count is so crappy, so if you have the system to distinguish when opener needs responder to have a 5 count to make game and when he needs him to have a 6 count, please inform us.

How does it work? I have had problems dealing with such hands.

Agree it's a bit much to distinguish between 5 points and 6, but there must be a wide gap in playing strength between a 7-count with a singleton and a 5-count with no singleton. How do you get to game with the former hand when you have a fit without getting to too many hopeless 3nt contracts?

I'd bid game because I have both tens, and it's red imps.

 

BTW it's nice to play a form of superaccepts where there is a "nonserious" option for opener.

How about 2H non serious :P

come on, if you're e.g. 2533 you're seriously happy bidding 2?

For all these you can require 5-5 (my preference) or allow it on 5-4, in the first case you are less likely to end up too high with no fit, but in the second case you can use it more often.

 

1NT 2

2/ 2

light unbalanced invite with 5 spades and a minor. Opener can pass, or bid 2NT to ask for the minor.

 

1NT 2

2 2

artificial showing light unbalanced invite with 5 hearts and another suit.

Opener must bid 2NT, then you bid 3// with clubs/diamonds/spades. You can also include other hands, such as 3 over the relay showing a game force with 5-5 in the majors.

Do people around the world show super max with 2NT when you hold KQx/AQx/AKx?

 

 

for the vacant super acceptances, you could play that 3 shows something easy to remember like Ax AKQx Kxxx xxx, if it ever happens you will have a laugh.

There are five bids available that are higher than 2 and not higher than 3. Maybe that gives us enough space to be able to show both a maximum with four-card support and a minimum with five-card support?

You can also use 6N to show a minimum with four hearts. You wouldn't want to even though you could. I disagree strongly with forcing to the 3 level with a minimum on an auction where it is very hard for the opponents to come into the auction safely.

We have a ten-card fit, 15 opposite 0-7, and you expect to be able to play in 2? Do you play your bridge mainly at golf clubs now?
