gnasher Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I like to play 3♥ as weak notrump with four hearts, and 2NT as unbalanced/stronger heart raises. Without an agreement of that sort, either you have to pass with this hand-type (which feels wrong), or you have to accept that 3♥ has a very wide range.

PhantomSac Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 3H, whats the problem? I don't even see the wide range, maybe its because I don't make a neg X with pieces of crap but I am happy to just bid 4H with a wide range, 3H is usually a weak NT hand type. Even if 4H cannot make they might accept the trnasfer with 4S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkDean Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 As a general rule I am willing to bid one level higher in competition than I would have without it, so here I will bid 3♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I like to play 3♥ as weak notrump with four hearts, and 2NT as unbalanced/stronger heart raises. Without an agreement of that sort, either you have to pass with this hand-type (which feels wrong), or you have to accept that 3♥ has a very wide range. Yep, but prefer 2NT with the weaker hand --long clubs or weak opener with hearts.The only reason is consistency with good/bad and leben, where 2NT is the weaker call and free 3's are stronger. Either way works if you and pard agree. One thing is reasonably sure: 2NT is not needed as natural after an overcall and a raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 3H obviously, but 2NT, transfer lebensohl, with my former partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 3H completely clear. It does not promise extras, just 4-card hearts. Even vulnerability does not matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
