ewj Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sorry this is a very simple question but does everyone play an auction such as 1S-2C-2H-2S as guarenteeing 3 card support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I would not. It sounds like simple preference to me, could be 2-2 for example. But I am no expert on 2/1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 In "standard 2/1" 2S guarantees 3-card support. However, there exist some strong 2/1 players (and no doubt some no-so-strong 2/1 players) who prefer to be able to bid 2S with a doubleton. No doubt this approach has some theoretical merit, but as far as I can tell, the group of players that favors this approach consists of only a small minority of 2/1 players (at least in the USA).

pooltuna Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sorry this is a very simple question but does everyone play an auction such as 1S-2C-2H-2S as guarenteeing 3 card support? don't know about 3 card but the 2♠ qbid is normally used as a strong ♣ support in this auction. BTW you ought to alert us that the opps are using NFB so that 2♥ is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
