If 2♦ is not forcing, and 2♠ promises support, how do you force or ask for a stopper in this situation? Thanks everyone.[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomSac Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I think most people who play negative freebids also play a jump to 3D as a strong GF 1 suiter so that X then diamonds is more like 5 diamonds and a GF, not sure though I've never played negative freebids.

aguahombre Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yeh, people who play Non forcing freebids use the Neg double with game forcing values and a single suit. When they later bid their suit a game force is established. In this case you might never mention the diamonds. 1H (1s) X (P)1N (P) 3NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Double then cue-bid to ask for a stopper. Of course this means that your double can't promise an unbid major. (Even if that doesnt apply on this auction) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty much exactly what I play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 What's 3♠? Is it a Western cue asking pd to bid 3N with a stopper, or a splinter in support of ♥? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Even if that doesnt apply on this auction) ditto. btw keep in mind if you play negative free bids then any new suit by responder after x is game forcing. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should def be a splinter, mainly because what hand can make a western cue? You don't know enough about partners hand. I mean with this hand for instance you could easily be cold for 7D or belong in hearts or in 5D or even in clubs or whatever, so you're better off just describing your hand (AKA bidding your suit).

Fluffy Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 you can either double and have aquahombre's auction, or a faster 3♦->3NT one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
