2C relay (GF)

[Flameous]

Adding more relays to seminatural base of openings, I came up with this structure. (Basically it's just dejeuner relays adjusted)

The thing going on with clubs is that 1D can have longer clubs. Majors don't (Unless 56)

I don't have the suits in specific order as you can see because the main suit isn't know, however I tried to put two shorter suits in right order.

 

2C (Bal or clubs, GF) ->

2D = 4+C

2H->2S = H

2NT->3C= three suited

3D->3H=1444

3S=0445

3NT=0454

3D= LL

3H->3S=5512

3NT=5503

4C=6511

4D=6502

3H=1354

3S=1264

3NT=0364

2NT = Low, LL/longer clubs

3C->3D = LL (5521)

3H = H (5530)

3S->3NT=1345

4C=1246

4D=0346

3S = 3145 (5611)

3NT= 2146 (5602)

4C = 3046 (5620)

3C = low, three suited

3D-> 3H = 4144

3S = 4045

3NT = 4054

3D = no

3H = 3154

3S = 2164

3NT = 3064

2H = 4+D

2S->2NT = H

3C = LL, low

3D = No or threesuited

3H = 5431

3S = 6421

3NT = 6430

4C = 7411

4D = 7420

2S = 4+H, high shortness or no shortness

2NT -> 3C = LL

3D-> 3H = 5512

3S = 5503

3NT = 6511

4C = 6502

3D = 5422

3H = 5431

3S = 6421

3NT = 6430

4C = 7420

4D = 7411

2NT = 4+H, low shortness

3C -> 3D = LL

3H = 5431

3S = 6421

3NT = 6430

4C = 7420

3C = H/no

3D->3H = 6331

3S = 7321

3NT = no

4C = 7330

3D = M

3H->3S = 6331

3NT = 7321

4C = 7330

3H = 6331

3S = 7(32)1

3NT = 7330

+++:

All but few wild shapes resolve at 3NT or below. (Except room problem with high shortness club canape :( )

It is (relatively) very easy to remember

Fits for all three openings pretty nicely (Main exception is 3C as three-suited which is just one shape after majors)

 

---:

All single-suiters without shortness are lumped in the same. Especially 7th card can make quite a difference. Same goes for 71(32)

There's no min/max -> relay must be practically GF. (Over 1D inv+ with Ds is fine) Of course with min/max you can show only half the shapes in the same room. So it works well only for limited openings, the narrower the range, the better.

 

I just want some input, what obvious I have missed B) Experiences of using something along these lines and some with min/max if you have used both would be nice. How narrow opening ranges should be? What after shape is resolved, will ZZ-ask and DCB work as in our 1C relays?
