cRi cRi Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 not forcing for me either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Yeah forcing, a weak hand has to pass 3♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 both make sense to me, so if it can be forcing it is forcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 NF. 3♦ doesn't show extra values. Why should responder have to stick it out in 3♦ with a void diamond, six good hearts and a side card? This auction is a contrast to: 1♦ - 1♥3♦ - 3♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinidad Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm with Helene. 3♥ is forcing. The reason why responder has to stick it out in 3♦ with a void in diamonds is that you want to stop bidding when there is a misfit. Partner doesn't have a fit for your hearts and you don't have a fir for his diamonds: Stop bidding. Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 2H was forcing one round so opener had to bid something; 3D showed nothing extra although slight extras are possible. 3H is trying to improve the contract showing a 6th heart. I suppose it would be possible for responder to pass 3D with only the promised 10HCP and misfit in diamonds, but this carries serious chance of missing game if opener has anything extras, Kx hearts for example (he has already denied 3-card support).
