What are your agreements on these sequences?

1♠ 2♥

2♠ 3♥

 

B)

1♠ 2♥

2♠ 4♥

 

C)

1♠ 2♥

3♠

 

D)

1♠ 2♥

3♠ 4♥

[Gerben42]

A) 1♠ 2♥ 2♠ 3♥

 

Extras with very self-sufficient ♥, similar to the old fashioned SJS.

 

:) 1♠ 2♥ 2♠ 4♥

 

Minimum GF with very long ♥

 

C) 1♠ 2♥ 3♠

 

15 - 18 with good 6+♠

 

D) 1♠ 2♥ 3♠ 4♥

 

Minimum without interest in a ♠ game or slam (singleton at most) and long ♥. 4m would be a cuebid.

[P_Marlowe]

#1 Inv.

#2 to play

#3 slam interest, strong suit, sets "basically the suit as trumps",

i.e. if responder bids 4C, 4D this is a cue for spade, 3NT and

4H are offers to play the resp. contracts

#4 To play

 

I play 2/1 Lawrence style, i.e. 2/1 is gf, unless responder rebids

his suit.

 

With kind regards

1♠ 2♥

2♠ 3♥

A good 6-card hearts and nothing else to bid. I think a 26(23) would bid 2NT if it has positional (half)stoppers in both minors.

 

1♠ 2♥

2♠ 4♥

 

Minimum GF response, 8-card or good 7-card.

 

1♠ 2♥

3♠

 

Solid or almost solid suit, significant extras. (Without significant extras, rebid 4♠)

 

1♠ 2♥

3♠ 4♥

Same as A).

[awm]

A: Game force with long/good hearts. Some hands with 6+♥ can bid 2NT here, but not all.

 

B: Essentially to play; minimum game force with 7+♥ not solid.

 

C: Setting trumps; self-sufficient spades and a good hand.

 

D: Cuebid, ♥ control, no minor suit control (see C).

I disagree with 2♥ then 4♥ as generically a minimum. I think it should deny any outside controls. Otherwise I'll match up with Adam.

I disagree with 2♥ then 4♥ as generically a minimum. I think it should deny any outside controls. Otherwise I'll match up with Adam.

In that case could the hearts be solid or are you still agreeing with that part?
