Reverses

[Lovera]

It is sure at this time that the hand is not balanced (i use overbidding opp suit having hands with analog type of distribution of direct overb.(=1♦-2♦)

[Lovera]

Well, let's look to get at point from the other side doesn't considering for the moment the 2♦ bidding on second round. The bidding than goes:( p )- 1♣ - (1♦) - 1♥, (p) - 2♠. Now is clear i am on reversed bidding but what hand can i have ? It is normal to think at anything of more usual and probable than a 4 - 5 or also a 4 - 6 spade-club reversed. But it is not so yet about shape.

It is the last remaining the 5-1-1-6 and to bid so i must have almost 10 points in high cards giving information that the first suit is longer than the second one (i.e. ♠ AKxxx and ♣ AJxxxx). The point is that urge to give at partner the possibility to know i have five cards in spade for a raise with three cards. Because revers with bidding of this type are three (4-5, 4-6 and 5-6) if we can use eventually overbidding of suit of opp after rever meaning its is a max rev. instead inverting the process only for the 5-6 we can focus about shape making rever after overbidding (eventually can be used also for 5-0-2-6 overbidding the suit of opp with two cards reserving it to indicate this rare distribution). Such as if bidding continues so ..2♦-(p)-2♥-(p)-2♠ or 2♦-(3♦)-3♥-(p)-3♠ at partner has arrived the usefull information of five cards in spade (and than six in club).This is my idea to solve this (problematic) bidding because i have not seen/known to have been ever studyied before.

Obviously this is possible because opp intervention but lacking it problem seems to remain. How do you think about it ? It is possible to manage this gadget ? Bye.

The lonely hand that i've found to understand the bidding problem (similar but stronger) is :S ♠ AK432 ♥ 8 ♦ AKJ874 ♣ A (not vul vs non vul) bidding : 2♣ - 3♣ - p - 5♣ what bidding S at second round ? Reese : it's early to X, 6♦ it is excessive , pass it is not to think risking to hear 5♥; Besse : 5 "karpics" (director come here); Rose: double Monday, Wednesday, Friday and 5♦ Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday (Sunday probably he get to rest and doesn't answer); Jais : double; Chiaradia and Romanet: 5♠; Genevieve Morenas : 6♦; Belladonna :6♣ (spectacolar cue bid). This hand is from World Championship in Buenos Aires and Le Dentu was in S against Leventritt and Schenken (E-O) and bided 6♣. Then Trezel in N bidded 6♠ (with much fear of Le Dentu). Quote : 5♦=100 pass=80 X or 5♠=70 6♦=60 6♣=? Maxima to remember: Don't force your talent when risk can be much big.(From "Bridge a la une" by Jose Le Dentu IL Fear pagg. 220-221).

It is happened today in MSN club: i seat for the second time at table and see ♠ 92 ♥ AKJ10x ♦ - ♣ QJxxxx (!)(=strange but had i not told that this one is a rare hand ?) Naturally i open with 1 ♣ but bidding don't proceed. Why ? I was courious to see Bots what had bidded to experiment an eventually overbidding of the suit of opp.(En passant : the first time in the same club, open table :seat, when at this other table i see that i had already bidding (when it is not ) and again, after a pass, the bidding was not move. Then i was tried to change requiring an undo with same resulting but anything changed. Why ?)
