rebid?

[aguahombre]

So, on the given hand, 3C allows responder to bid 3H, and we stop in 6, off a bullet. A 4H rebid would have put a heavy burden on responder, which probably could not be overcome.

 

Maybe that is just serendipity, but I don't mind when my choices have lucky consequences which my feeble mind could not imagine at the time.

this is a simple 2H bid. If one can't try for slams when partner shows a gf one suiter, he shouldn't try to invite the game and should just bid 2M.

I agree with Aquaman.

For the hand shown [ Q, QJ9, K98632, Q63 ] ,

after 1H open, whether Responder bids 2H or 1NT! planning to make a limit raise if Opener delivers a minimum rebid, slam should be reached.

[ I think Responder's hand is closer to a 3 card limit raise than a 2H mixed raise ].

 

But if Opener rebids 4H after 1NT!:

1H - 1NT!

4H , then Responder probably won't consider his hand worth a continuation.

you've watched far too many bad movies.

Speak for yourself, lol.

 

Meanwhile, apologies to those who consider themselves non-yankee north americans :)

Antoine Fourrière:

After:

1H - 1NT!

3C! - ??

In practically all of your examples which show a doubleton Ht, I'd have Responder make a min rebid of 3H ( could be as little as 2 card support ) ... and stop in 4H.

 

However, with hands # 17 and # 20, with ostensibly a 4+ Cl fit, I'd get to 6H via my "support showing" RKC Response:

 

AJ    KT86542    A    AK4

 

K6   A3   T7643   QJ75 ( # 20 )

 

1H - 1NT!

3C! - 4C! ( RKC showing 4+c, 1 key card, obviously hA but A-x at most )*

4D! ( cQ-ask ) - 4S! ( cQ and sK )

6H

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

 

*For a different hand, an indirect 4C bid by Responder can be made using a 3D! relay ( to 3H!) first.
