Dwingo Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I would like to hear from experts what methods/tools/bids that they use after the preemptive raises 1♣ - 3♣ & 1♦ - 3♦, especially when Opener has a big hand. Thanks in advance Godwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 If you have a big hand without the minor blocking (like AKQ), bid 3NT :angry: If you're afraid of a suit, you can always start cuebidding to find a safe 3NT... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I think this is pretty standard: 1. 3 of a major should be a 5 card suit. I think it has limited use as a stopper- showing call looking for 3N. I could accept the call being played as a reverse however. 2. 4 of the minor should be a preemptive re-raise (discuss with your pard if this should be RKCB). 3. 4 of a new suit should be exclusion. Have any pairs experimented with playing the next new suit as a singleton ask? I think this could be useful, but have never heard of this treatment. I can also see how some asking bids could be utilized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 i like that idea.. 1d : 3d : 3h and 1c : 3c : 3d both ask for stiff/void... i don't see much of a downside, since even if opener has a 2nd suit (say 4 hearts), responder has already shown where his "values" lie... i also would prefer 1m:3m:4m to always be rkc...
