Is there any medication that can be taken against this sickness? pretty bad :) As far as a cure...well I have my tantō back from the sharpeners, guaranteed to eliminate all your problems :) BTW why not 2NT over 1♣. Doesnt' that show this hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 2NT first round. I need some cards always for these 2 suited calls but when I'm favourable "some cards always" is open to interpretation. I don't know if there is a cure but please tell me if you find something. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I wish I had a way to show the two lowest unbid suits in one bid at the first go so I wouldn't feel guilty about passing later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Ya especially favorable you have to get both suits into the picture early when you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 in some partnerships this suit qualities wouldn't be enough for 2NT and I'd bid 1♥, but that's the same reason where I'd pass later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I usually don't have a way to show the two lowest unbid suits in one bid at the first go - I prefer to be able to show KJxxx Kx 987xxx void, and live with the guilt when I've got the red suits.

jdonn Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I recommend ghestem in that case, it seems like it solves all these problems with no downside at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Meh I think overcalling 1H is ok, but lol at bidding now. Some people just refuse to defend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcurt Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I recommend ghestem in that case, it seems like it solves all these problems with no downside at all. Isn't this the single most forgotten convention ever? That would be a downside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 5D here is very considerate. "Opponents, you didn't bid your 6S so here is 1400 for you." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any medication that can be taken against this sickness? The counter measure is easy - show your suits at once. And if you want to compete, bid 4NT - this would show a 2-suiter,with a undisclosed higher ranking suit, which is shorter.But since you overcalled the higest ranking missing suit - you will have a 2-suiter with a longer lower ranking suit, if you bid this undiscussed, you need to assume to have a p on the same page with you. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
