Responding light

[aguahombre]

I can't think of an adjective here, but lets say a strong jump shift of 2♥ would be taking matters even further.

Even if partner is expected to relay with 2♠ after our "strong" jump shift? Then we could pass and let them guess what's going on, while letting partner declare the potentially poor contract.

Seems like a good way to cheat to me!

And now for a whole new string on whether the prohibition of Psyching strong artificial bids applies to responses.'

Passing is a style that is simply not effective, no matter what the resident old fogies will say.

Pass is obvious. This hand is a pile of crap.

I mostly just said that yesterday because I knew I would be able to point this out today. :)

 

1♠ for me.

 

1♥ is taking a good idea too far.

Too far in what direction? This hand is too ____ for 1♥ in your opinion? (please fill in the blank)

Why do you think I posted it in this way Josh? By the way, you young whippersnapper, are you calling me an old fogey? B)

I think, since I posted first, you technically called yourself an old fogey. Checkmate!
