glen Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Is this ACBL GCC legal? See: ACBL Convention Charts 2NT asking for aces, undefined hand type. (btw responses are 3♣ 0-3 aces, 3♦ 4 aces) If 2NT is not legal, is 4NT opening asking for aces legal, and why the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Is this ACBL GCC legal? See: ACBL Convention Charts 2NT asking for aces, undefined hand type. (btw responses are 3♣ 0-3 aces, 3♦ 4 aces) If 2NT is not legal, is 4NT opening asking for aces legal, and why the difference? It's legal if it's "strength showing" (Opening bids - 4). Now the 5 page debate about what that term means and how dumb the ACBL is for not defining it and all the various different inconsistent rulings people have gotten on that point.

dake50 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 2NT asking specific Aces seems much better. Maybe 'right' Ace(s) promotes to moose.If general number Aces, just show big hand. Why ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(btw responses are 3♣ 0-3 aces, 3♦ 4 aces) [hv=s=sxhxxdxxxckqxxxxx]133|100|2N-3♣-P[/hv]I was just curious if partner had all the aces, director. We might miss 3N after all.
