Sadie3 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Bidding goes 1C (X) 1D (2H). How do you interpret the 2 Heart Bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Same as if RHO had passed. I.e. 9-11 points, 4+ hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinidad Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 For starters, this is not a jump shift. After all, partner didn't bid a suit, so there is nothing to shift from. You are closer to the truth if you consider this a jump raise. The doubler has promised at least 3 hearts for the double and you are only raising a suit that he has shown. A non jump 1♥ bid would show something like a nice 4 to a bad 8 with 4 or 5 hearts. A jump to 2♥ shows about the same with 5-6 hearts. If you are 9+ with 6 hearts or 11+ with 5, you will often be able to make 4♥ opposite a 4351 12 count. Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Bidding goes 1C (X) 1D (2H). How do you interpret the 2 Heart Bid? Hearts and enough to invite game if doubler has suitable extras. As far as I know, this is completely standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Roughly 8-10 if you have 5 hearts, and roughly 10-11 if you have 4 hearts. Ranges not set in stone or anything and depends on shape and honor location but those are my best approximations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I would have a bit less than Justin. I would jump to 3♥ with five hearts and 10 or a good 9. 2♥ would be a good 6 to 9 with five hearts or a good 7 to 10 or bad 11 with four hearts.

I think gnasher also once said he has a weaker range to bid 2H on this auction than I do. Maybe an English vs US thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think gnasher also once said he has a weaker range to bid 2H on this auction than I do. Maybe an English vs US thing? I have a weaker range than you too lol. I think it's about good 8 to 11 with 4, a point lighter with 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's about good 8 to 11 with 4, a point lighter with 5. FWIW I said 10-11 because RHO bid. If RHO had passed I would say 9-11 (which is the same as you). I think 1H being a freebid, it should include the 9 counts wtih 4 hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 yep. the 1D response makes a free/cheap bid a "not broke" bid. And, unlike after a redouble, it doesn't change the meaning of 2H, IMHO. It might be important for doubler to know whether one of them is clowning or shading their values, and whether we belong in game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benlessard Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Do any1 play transfer overcall setup here ? Or a unusual vs unusual setup 1C----(X)-----1S------???X = penalty1Nt = natural2C = Diamonds 2D = hearts weakish or GF2H = good H raise2S= exception ... natural here. 1D----(X)-----1S------??? below the 2D cue everything is natural X = penalty1Nt 2C = natural2D = H weakish or GF 2H = Good H bid2S= exception ... natural here. 1D----(X)-----1Nt-------??? X = penalty2C nat2D here is responsive. Our agreements for transfers overcall and similar stuff. Be sure to find the lowest cuebid that will cause no confusion.below the cue everything is standard.The cue is transfers weak or strongWhen you have an idle bid it show limit strenght.When no hope for game the limit means im willing to compete further. P----P-----P-----1CX---1D----??? X + 1M +1NT =nat2C =H not willing to compete (would be weakish or GF by unpassed H)2D = S not willing to compete2M = willing to compete to 3 (would be limit by unpassed) It may seems way too complex for their own good and sometimes its give nothing but since we always these setup at the end its easier for us that way especially after they interferred over our strong C.

Fluffy Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 the same as if 1♦ was a pass. For me EXACTLY 4♥ (8)9-11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember saying that, but it was probably because my takeout doubles promise more playing strength than yours do. That's also true of English takeout doubles versus American takeout doubles.
