Rebid after 2/1


Recommended Posts

This is the beauty of 2/1. You don't have to go blasting around, for fear pard will pass. 2S is fine, even though it doesn't really say anything about your hand.

 

You can find out what partner's plan is. It would be nice to know whether 2D guarantees more than 4 of them, though.

well your partner is an unknown. 

 

partner's hand a 2254 14 count.

 

without giving you partner's holding

 

1S p 2D p

2S p ?

 

what's your call now.

 

The HCP are spread out in all suits

partner rebids 3, and you probably rebid 3, though 3 has some merit as well.

if 2s promises 6 then 3s..slam try now if not then 2nt now.

 

Some prefer that 3s immed.raise always promises 3 not matter what 2s rebid shows..many different styles here

It is either 2NT or 3C, depends on the quality of the club suit.

After having seen partners hand, I would go with 2NT.

 

With kind regards

I'd say the bidding should go:

 

1-2

2-3

3-3

4-4

4-6

 

Where 3 shows 2 cards and 4 is a cue-bid agreeing spades as trumps. I'm not so sure about the continuation, but that's ok.

 

Also, I agree with the waterman about the T situation.

2S would probably be mainstream but I don't like it. You would make the same bid with Qxxxx-AKx-xxx-Kx as you would with this, a much more powerful hand and suit. I play the variant where 1S-2D-3S shows a good 6+ card suit (does not say "solid") and slight extras like 15+ so I would bid 3S. Any thought of a diamond raise at this early time is silly.

Isn't that the idea of having a catch-all? Here's a hand where you can't be sure of the right denomination so you just temporarily bid 2, waiting for partner to clear out what he has, what's partner to do with:

 

Q

xx(x)

AKQxx(x)

KJxx(x)

 

over 3? Isn't the slam better? Isn't 2 a better path to it?

So your partner bids 3S over 2S, now you bid 4C, and partner bids 4D, so you bid 4H and partner bids 6S

 

partner's hand

 

Qx

QJ

AQ10xx

Kxxx

Did I misunderstand the auction? Partner game-forced and then raised spades and has only a quacky 14-count with 2-card support. Why did partner bid 6S?

 

Anyway, I guess 2S is right with opener's hand - you don't want to set trump when partner could have a small singleton spade and a good diamond suit. Partner should then bid 2N and now if opener bids 4C what is that?

our actual auction was

 

1S p 2D p

3S p 4NT p

5D p 5NT p

6H p 6S p

7S

 

 

when my partner moved over 3S, I was sure she had the A of clubs and AK diamonds, probably honor 3rd and didn't bid 7 because of the A of clubs.

 

I got lucky and it rolled, but I wonder how many would bid 7S over 6S in this sequence.

I'm not sure I agree but even if you were right, I am not talking about the director's duties, but the player's. Normally if you know that you are going to bid 7 no matter what, do it over 5NT, not over his 6 level signoff. If you don't know for sure, think about it over 5NT.

The idea of catchall covers situations where opener doesn't have a more descriptive bid available. In my preferred methods, a completely descriptive bid was available so it would have been wrong to resort to the catchall and at the same time deny the exact hand that opener had (6+ good suit and 15+ or equivalent slight extras). The only objection to not using the systemic 3S call might be that opener not only had slight extras, but *significant* extras.

 

I am not forcing my system upon you, but what does opener's rebid of 3S mean in your methods? Or for others, who would have rebid 2S with the given hand?

I understand your idea Peachy, but the problem is that it is too difficult to reach 6 after a 3 rebid. Make your hand 6313 or so and many would agree with your choice.

 

I had choose the rout via 1 2 2 3 3 3 too, but I had still been unsure about strain and sttrength despite 3 rounds of bidding. :rolleyes:
