andy_h Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I was wondering if anyone has played/come across a (semi)forcing pass system and have defence vs. it? The pair in question are playing:1st/2nd seat:Pass = 0-6 HCP or 15-20 HCP Bal or 15-20 No Major1♣ = 10-21 HCP 4+♥, unbal often canape1♦ = 10-21 HCP 4+♠, unbal often canape1♥ = 7-10 Any1♠ = 10-14 HCP Unbal, No major1NT = 11-142♣ = Any GF2M = 8-10 5+M 3rd/4th seat:Pass = 0-31♣ = 10-18 HCP Bal, or 15-18 Unbal No Major1♦ = 9-18 4+♥, unbal can be canape1♥ = 3-8 Any or 4-9 Bal1♠ = 9-18 HCP 4+♠, unbal can be canape1NT = 19+ Any2m = 9-14, 5+m No Major Thanks!

spotlight7 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi: I would just play my normal methods against this system. The 15-20 range will not be used much since those hands are something like a once a session holding. The 0-6 range is something that you might want to let them get into trouble. It is not a standard forcing pass system where pass shows 13+ If you really want to bid more often vs this system, you might want to try playing Phantom Club. It assumes that a '1C' bid was made to your right and you now overcall. A '1C' opening by you is often a takeout of a standard 1C bid.

dake50 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 They surrender the auction on their strong: 15-20 without M?? Get to 2M often! Let them try to untangle stops, tricks, after we set up our defense.Canape? Open up jump overcall in other Major -wide ranging values as the ambiguity is in our favor.The rest looks to play regular competing methods. Few new inferences.

Gerben42 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I've commented against this system (Crunch) vs Pass: Ignore itvs 1m: Dbl = normal T/O of the shown suit, their major = raptor, 1NT = natural vs 1♥: Pass = may include stronger hands with ♥ lengthDbl = opening strength but no long suit1♠ = 1♠-opening1NT = strong NT2m = natural, lon2M, 3m = Natural, intermediate2NT = strong 2NT3M = preemptive vs 1♠ Pass = may include stronger hands with ♠ length1♠ = opening strength, playable in both majors unless strongRest natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
