the hog Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 2S is obvious, is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 2♠ is reasonable, unless you are part of the significant minority who have agreed 1M-2m-2M is nonforcing (in which case 3♠ is the standout.) There may well be a case for 3♠ anyway, if you agree that it shows this kind of concentration in spades, rather than just a little bit extra in values. What DOES 3♠ show, for those of you who wouldn't dream of anything other than 2♠ on the posted hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 If partner has 11 or more diamonds, who am I to over-ride his trump suit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi, 4S. Depending on vulnerability, this may have been a 4S opening. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What DOES 3♠ show, for those of you who wouldn't dream of anything other than 2♠ on the posted hand? 3S would show a hand, which has a strong desire to investigate slam,6S that is.With the given hand, you either now bid 2S followed by 4S, or 4S direct,it is certainly a mood point, one way or the other as long as 2S is forcing,playing with a stranger I am not going to risk this, playing with a regularp you may have discussed the difference.

Old York Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 What DOES 3♠ show, for those of you who wouldn't dream of anything other than 2♠ on the posted hand? Historically, any jump bid in a forcing situation shows a solid, self-supporting suit I vote for 2♠, or open 4♠ Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onedown Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 2S - Pard just bid your void which devalues your hand signficantly..Opening 4S is also a possibility but I dont like this missing both the Q and T of s.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
