ONEferBRID Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 You can't bid Diam as that shows support for Cl.4D! = splinter, showing 4+ card support for Cl. Bid 2S ... next bid some level of Hts, if partner doesn't support Sp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmilne Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'd bid hearts, I have more of them than spades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiddity Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Double shows the majors, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I always laugh at the negative and responsive doublers who have eleven to 13 cards in their two suits. It never seems to work out for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 2S. I agree that double is poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 2♥ and anything else is terrible. You have a game forcing hand so you bid your longest suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effervesce Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 2♥, rebidding 3♠ over 2NT or 3♣, then bidding 5♣ over 4M or 4♣ over 3NT. Partner should take this as 6-5 in the majors as with 5-4 you can just double first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 2♥, rebidding 3♠ over 2NT or 3♣, then bidding 5♣ over 4M or 4♣ over 3NT. Partner should take this as 6-5 in the majors as with 5-4 you can just double first. the funny thing about the 5-6 majors is having to bid the spades at the 4/5 level. Expecting to get tapped I could hide spades forever on this deal, but I don't like it so much, it seems so antinatural for me, and I0d just bid 2♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting to get tapped I could hide spades forever on this deal, but I don't like it so much, it seems so antinatural for me, and I0d just bid 2♠ I don't mind having to bid spades at the four level, or five level for that matter. Partner made a vulnerable overcall, RED vs WHITE; how crap a hand can partner have? At this vulnerability slam is soooo extremely likely. I'd sooner bid 2♥ and then have to bid 5NT over 5♦ pick a slam, or 4NT over 4♦ 'two places to play' than start misdescribing this hand's potential with 2♠. I think 2♠ is just lol. Partner is so likely to have KQ to 6 clubs; give partner the A of spades and either a heart control or singleton and slam rolls. Or alternatively something like A Kx xxxx Kxxxxx. Lots of hands where bidding 2♥ first will help us find the right strain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Guys? 2M is forcing? True modern method (and probably very good for MPs) is probably to play it as NF; but it is 'standard' for new suits to be forcing on BBO...

gnasher Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'm surprised by the suggestions that 2♥ is forcing or invitational. Don't you want to be able to compete with 2♥ on Kxx QJ9xxx xx Jx or Qxx KQJxx xxx xx? For me, 2♥ is just competitive. To make a forcing bid, I'd have to double and then bid a new suit, or double and then cue-bid. If I bid a non-forcing 2♥, I might play there with a slam on our way (Ax Kx Jxx K109xxx, for example). With so much high-card strength, I can't rely on the opponents to give me another chance. If a natural forcing 3♥ were available, I'd bid that. I always play that as a fit jump, however, so I'm stuck with a jump to game or a double. I'd double. The main downsides are that it might get passed out, and LHO might bounce to the five level. I'll take a chance on either of those. If it comes back to me at 5♦, I'll bid 5♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 NF is standard imo, I'd bid 2H anyway. I would be very surprised if the opponents don't compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
