GF auctions

Recommended Posts

I had a bidding accident in a recent bidding practice and wanted some opinions.

What do you think should the following auctions mean?

 

1C - 1S; 1NT - 2H; 2S

1C - 1S; 1NT - 2H; 3S

1C - 1S; 1NT - 2H; 4S

1C - 1S; 1NT - 2H; 2NT - 3H; 3S

1C - 1S; 1NT - 2H; 2NT - 3H; 4S

 

1C is artificial and forcing

1S is 4+ with 8+ hcp

1NT is GF (guarantee 16+ hcp) asking for further description but not part of a relay structure

2H is natural and deny a minimum (show at least 10 hcp)

2NT does not promise or deny any specific shape

 

Over the 1S response opener had available to him 2NT as 4 card GF raise with shortness, 3S as 4 card GF raise without shortness.

 

I believe those are all the relevant agreements but feel free to ask

 

Thank you for your help

For all 2/1 players please consider the following auctions:

 

1S - 2C; 2H - 2S

1S - 2C; 2H - 3S

1S - 2C; 2H - 4S

1S - 2C; 2H - 2NT; 3H - 3S

1S - 2C; 2H - 2NT; 3H - 4S

 

2C is an absolute GF and denies a 4 card GF spade raise.

How about this all with 3 spades support 2S all round strength with slam potential consider whether 4S or higher or 3NT is the best contract, 3 S strength unbalanced tell me about your shortage (in clubs or diamonds high slam potential if the right shortage), 4S low slam potential- no aces and missing one queen continue with more than 2 aces.

for me:

 

1) slam try in spades, 3 card support.

2) never had this one.... maybe splinter in s agree h, 4h support, confuse pard..avoid this one?

3) responder has dead minimum gf with3s, otherwise many play picture bids.

4) spade cue...agree h, again try to avoid this one? I think 2nt showed d stoppers.

5) 4S WOULD BE kickback ...rkc in h.
