benlessard Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (1S)-------X-------(2H)--------??? 2H is constructive raise in S What does X show 1 - a free 2H bid 2- responsive X3 - other ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Bromad, cappeletti, whatever you call it: I would use double to say I wanted to bid exactly 2H --less than 9HCP, but more than zero --an unforced response. 2s could be the hand with a responsive double (2-3-4-4) and desire to compete. Weaker distributional could bid 2NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich-b Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 A free 2H bid - and thank you opps for playing this convention that allows me to show my suit so easily. You can use 2♠ as a responsive double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 A free 2H bid - and thank you opps for playing this convention that allows me to show my suit so easily. You can use 2♠ as a responsive double. Agree with this approach, however, realize that their convention allows them to crack you in 2♥ with their 14 opposite 8 and you are in a 4-3.

jdonn Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I think the best would be X = hearts2♠ = responsive double with opener bidding 2NT to scramble2NT = lebensohl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we be doubled in 2H when we are the ones who doubled 2h? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffford76 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 What about the related auction (1S) X (2D) ... where 2D is a transfer to hearts? What are 2H, 2S, direct X, and P now and X when 2H comes back around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 What about the related auction (1S) X (2D) ... where 2D is a transfer to hearts? What are 2H, 2S, direct X, and P now and X when 2H comes back around? X, 2♠, and 2NT as before or very similar. I think 2♥ has to be natural since RHO is often just showing a spade raise with something in hearts, not to mention he could simply be psyching as well.
