pass-(pass)-1-(1)

2!-(2)-??

 

 

2!= transfer to 2 probably just the hand that would bid 2.

 

If you would do otherwise third position favourable say so.

cooperate with partner who may be trying to jack them up to 3. If they clearly belong in game you are not going to stop them but 3 eliminates the 2NT, 3, and 3 games tries.

I must be as wacky as they come.

 

 

On the first round, I would open 3. If my partner had no sense of humour whatsoever, and I had a weak 2 available, I would try that.

 

Might seem to rich for most people, but I am third hand favourable, so partner should not run amok. Even if he overcompetes with 4 on a three card suit, or 5 on a four card suit, we might get away with it. They might bid, when we are way overboard, or they might forget to double, or they might misdefend (Typically by not leading thrumphs.)

 

 

Having opened with 1, 3 is the one bid I will definitely not make. North has already described his hand fairly accurately, by not bidding 2. And they still have the 3 gametry available. By bidding 3 I confirm that our fit is real, and not just implied. I consider this information to be more valuable to the opponents, than missin a few nuances in the invites is detrimental.

 

So it is either a sneaky pass, or a 4 preempt.

 

And yes, I know I am masterminding (a thing I generally hate, especially when partner does it), but I already took that road, when I opened 1.

 

After the session, the merit of the ambigious 2-agreement will be scrutinized.

 

 

And finally; if I was asked to take the chair of a player that bid 3 after 2, I would pass 4. Bidding on might be right, but the opponents will have all the information they need to do the right thing.

I hate 3 too.

It takes away 2 NT 3 Club and 3 ? Okay, but it gives them pass and double, so it does not take away so much, because their most likely game try bid had been 3 anyway.

 

I had passed 2 Spade and 4 Spade....
