Double ! Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Simple answer for me (since I play a rebid of 1S as forcing 1 round). 2♠: another one of my insane toys or specialized bids: shows a running minor, a spade stopper, and very much looking for a club stopper and/ or, in this case, 5+ hearts (and is very much alertable as it denies 4+ spades). Responder's first obligation, however, is to show a club stopper if possessed. I promise another rebid. Just ask one small favor. Please, Please! Don't laugh too hard at me for presenting this treatment. Self-disclosure has its risks. DHL :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Sounds like a useful treatment. I was going to post another treatment but then noticed that this is the SAYC, 2/1 forum. So I wasn't sure if we were looking for non-standard gadgets. For what it is worth we bid 4♦ with this hand showing a Game force hand with lots of distribution and at least six diamonds (probably seven) and three hearts.

the hog Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I would not laugh at your 2S bid, especially as i see no logic at all in 1S being nf.Personally I would bid 2NT with this hand, which is my gadget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 2NT but I won't like it if partne bids 3, we might easilly lose all clubs or have slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I thought 3NT showed this hand type, a gambling 3NT only with side suit stoppers. Not that I am too keen on bidding 3NT as with 6♥ parnter is never going to figure out we probably have a slam so perhaps the 2NT bidders risk missing 6NT or 7NT with something like [hv=s=sxxxhkqjxdxxcaxxx]133|100|[/hv] but in return get to 6♥ with something like [hv=s=sxxxhkqjxdxxcaxxx]133|100|[/hv]and the 4♦ bidders have modified the "convention with no name" to suit what I guess they feel is a higher frequencyThe ♠bidders are subject to having problems if partner is 4-4 in the majorsI have not seen the 2♣ opener proponents yet but presume they will point out the 9 tricks in hand. In short an ugly problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short an ugly problemPointing out the flaws in each action very nicely. Cascade's solution implies the flaw in a 3NT rebid, which for many would suggest the same hand pattern, but with a singleton heart rather than a singleton club. For 2C opening, some would not choose to set a freight train in motion without a tenth trick or more high-card strength. This leaves his 4D invention as the only choice, if partner will work it out. Unfortunately I am left with no solution, since 4D would be a non-serious hand with 4-6 in the reds. Might have to live with the results of the 2S jump shift rebid.

ochinko Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Not having special gadgets for these sort of hands I rebid 3NT. This describes my hand best. Theoretically partner could pass 2NT when absolutely minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I also have a 2NT gadget available for this hand. Otherwise, well, you know, it's the hand of death, 3♦ or 3NT I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 2S. The cheapest forcing bid. The way i play If partner raise you to 4S he should have a diamond tolerance & deny half a stopper or better in clubs. IMO playing fake jump-shift is a lot better than any other solution. (artificial 2Nt etc...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 3NT. Unless I have (another) gadget to show this hand at a lower level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
