Mbodell Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Do people still use the "impossible negative" in response to a strong club opening? If so, do most people include it in the explanation of the 1D response?In my one precision partnership 1C - 1D was always explained as "Usually 0-7, but could be a good 4441 hand". I would think this would be normal if you're playing impossible negatives. I agree. In one partnership we need 2 controls (A=2,K=1) to make a positive response so we say 1♦ is artificial and negative which is typically 0-7 but "could be more if it is quacky" or "could be more if it lacks an A or 2 K" or what not. In theory we could have 15, but the most I've had is 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 In my last Precision partnership we played control showing responses (0-1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more) so our explanation of 1D was "artificial, fewer than two controls". Normally we didn't say anything about quacks unless somebody asked a followup question. It was never a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
