Avivs Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 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; 2S1C - 1S; 1NT - 2H; 3S1C - 1S; 1NT - 2H; 4S1C - 1S; 1NT - 2H; 2NT - 3H; 3S1C - 1S; 1NT - 2H; 2NT - 3H; 4S 1C is artificial and forcing1S is 4+ with 8+ hcp1NT is GF (guarantee 16+ hcp) asking for further description but not part of a relay structure2H 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avivs Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 For all 2/1 players please consider the following auctions: 1S - 2C; 2H - 2S1S - 2C; 2H - 3S1S - 2C; 2H - 4S1S - 2C; 2H - 2NT; 3H - 3S1S - 2C; 2H - 2NT; 3H - 4S 2C is an absolute GF and denies a 4 card GF spade raise. What do you think should these auctions mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloa513 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 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.

mike777 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 For all 2/1 players please consider the following auctions: 1S - 2C; 2H - 2S1S - 2C; 2H - 3S1S - 2C; 2H - 4S1S - 2C; 2H - 2NT; 3H - 3S1S - 2C; 2H - 2NT; 3H - 4S 2C is an absolute GF and denies a 4 card GF spade raise. What do you think should these auctions mean? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
