andy_h Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Some pairs play 2 over 1 is GF except rebid. This has the added edge that you can get to hear some extra information from opener before rebidding your suit if nothing special happens as opposed to a direct jump like 1M-3x showing the invitational hand. Having said that, that means now with 6+ of your own suit with GF you're usually left with bidding 2NT or possibly the 4th suit which could be awkward. If you happen to used to put your invitational hands into 1NT (semi/forcing) then this way also relieves some pressure off the 1NT. One side note, some people play a gadget where 1♠-2♦ shows 5+♥ and 10+ which also revolves around opener being able to get a 2nd bid in although I don't have any experience in this gadget. Not sure if you were referring to this topic, or the likes of 2/1 GF vs. sayc where 2/1 is 10+ or a 2/1 is only invitational with all GF going through 1NT. If it was the last option I certainly do not like the sounds of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
