1C responses system proposal.

[benlessard]

we are playing a strong clubs starting a 15 where there is no D hands under 22 nor M hands in the 18-22 range.

 

my main features is using 1C--1D waiting and getting rid of all 6-bad8 inv so that 1C--1D--1H show a balanced hand 15-20 and 1C-1d-1h-1s-1nt is is still wide 15-20

 

---------------------------------

This free up

 

1C--1D--1Nt (forcing, clubs or 21+ bal) wich is a killer improvement.

1C--1D--1H bal--any responder responses is forcing add huge amount of space.

------------------------------------------

 

 

-------------------------inv recap.

inv with 4H are in

1C--1S

inv with 4S are

1C--1H

inv with a long m are in

 

1C--1D--1H (bal)--??

1Nt (5c inv or +)

2C (5D inv or +)

inv with short m are 1C-1NT, 1C-2C (44)(41) + (43)(15)

inv with 3334/3343 are lying by showing 4S inv then pulling to 2Nt or stop in 2D.

inv with 3244 are showing 4M (if raised 2M will play well)

 

 

 

1C---???

 

1D =(waiting, many weak hands, many GF hands, inv with 5 in a suit)

1H = 4s weak/inv, 3244,3334,3343 inv. any 6S hands, some 5S GF

1s = exactly 4h inv, 6h gf

1nt = short C inv(3 suiters)

2C = short D inv

 

i know it look weird but keep reading.

 

 

1C--1D--???

 

1H bal 15-20 or GF red suiters-- this is core sequence of system

1S 5S 15-17 or GF

1NT clubs or bal 21+ or GF (4441)

2C 5H+4C+S tol 15-17

2D 5H +4D+ S tol 15-17

2H 5H+4s(15-17)

rest is 5H/4S GF

 

1C--1D--1H--???

 

1S weak or GF relay

1NT = 5C inv or better

2C = 5D inv or better

2d = 5H+D GF

2H = 5H + S GF

rest is 5H + C GF

-----------------------------

1c--1D--1H--1S

 

1NT = bal 15-20 (with stransfers GF or weak after that/stayman Gf)

2c=5H+4D 15-17 without S tol or gf.

2D=6H GF or 15-17

2H+=rest is D GF

------------------------------------

 

1C--1D--1H---1NT---??

2C bal min

2D 6H weak or GF

2H bal 18-20 GF

2S rest is D GF

----------------------------

1C-1D-1H-2C-???

2d bal min

2H 6H 15-17

2S rest is GF

-----------------------------

 

1C--1D--1S-- our usual system

-----------------------------------

1C-1D-1Nt Same system after 1C--1??--2C showign clubs (but opener can have big bal)

 

1c 1d 1Nt 2C

pass 16-20 clubs

2D bal 21+ range check

2H nearly GF nat 5C + 4H

2S nearly GF 5C + 4S

2NT GF 6 clubs

3C 21-22 clubs NF

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

1C--1H(spades/ could be 3 cards if inv)--???

1S extras,any 4S fit,any clubs hands

1NT min no fit.

2C 4C+5H 15-17

2D 4D +5H 15-17

2H 6H 15-17

2S 5S 15-17

 

------------------------------

1C--1H--1S (extras)

1NT (0-5 but show 4S)

2C inv

2D inv that is now GF (3/4)

2H 6S (weak or GF)

rest is GF 5S + os

--------------------------------------------------

1C--1H--1S--1Nt (0-5 but showing 4S)

pass extras but not 4S

2C clubs 16-20

2D range check

2H S raise, GF or to play 2S

2S H GF

bal GF

3m nat GF

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1C-1H-1S--2C (inv)

pass = clubs 16-17

2D = min with 4S/ but also 4D or 4234,4432 (to allow 2D to be better than 2S if responder is 3343 inv)

2H = S raise min or GF

2S = GF with H

rest is GF nat

------------------------------------------------------------

 

rest is later
