inquiry Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 [hv=d=w&v=a&n=s97642h7dkqj864ck&s=saqj5haq82d9ct863]133|200|Scoring: IMPWest opens 1♦ (natural 3+), if North passes east responds 1♥. West rebids 2♥ if South passes and uses either a double or redouble to show 3 card heart support. East=West go to 2♥'s if necessary to avoid playing something doubled below that, but do not bid above 2♥. I had thought the diamond opening bid might cause problems, but it did not. Quite a few people even overcalled with North's hand 1♠, which made game really, really easy to bid. Because so many got willy-nilly to 4♠, I lowered the value for 4♠ to only 8 out of 12[/hv] Note, i forgot to mention I rotated teh hands hands for these displays. the hand shown were bidded as NS hands. 4S=8, 3S=4, 2Hthem=1 4SN bluecalm/redds4SN East4Evil/sohcahtoa4SS elianna/awm4SS Flycycle/Wackojack4SN gnasher/catch224SS hrothgar/Free4SN jdonn/gib4SN jlall/hanp4SS karlson/threenobob4SN kfay/jchiu4S lobowolf/bkjswan4SN peachy/lg624SN rogerClee/cherdano4SN sallyally/joylson4SS Siegmund/MSchmahl4SN tlgoodwin/timg4SN tylere / bid_em_up3SN ant590 - crayzeejim2SN kristen33/jillybean2SN olegru - driver7336SN mbodell - javabean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 It seems it went: 1♦ pass 1♥ - dblrdbl - 4♠ at most tables?It's our auction and I saw it duplicated by one other pair, looks like kinda automatic auction too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I just bid 3S and my partner bid 4 (typ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Another variation my partner chose to overcall 1♠ with the south cards rather than double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLOGIC Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I overcalled 1♠ as north. lol, to qualify with gib you have to do strange things i guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 It was hard for me to admit I did it without typing "lol". In my defense, I know we likely won't end up on defense so he won't be making a bad lead, and I know gib plays the 2♦ rebid by me natural, and if it comes to it I know he doesn't play the sandwich 1NT as natural, so the situation was relatively well suited to make this particular terrible bid.
