Is it obvious or it is a style?

I would bid 2♠ forcing. If you play NFB you have a tough problem you are probably forced to bid 3♠ fit jump.

IMO you are overbidding a lot gerben, I'd bid 2♠ NF and if I have the chance some diamonds next

must be nice to play adjective bridge....add an Ace and you can bid '2♠ forcing'.

 

If partner's 1♦ promised 4+, I'd bid 2♠ (forcing for sure...I mean how many experts play NFBs these days....a small proportion), otherwise I double and hope to be able to survive....can't pass....my clubs are too short, which often means partner's are too long for him to reopen....not to mention the bidding problem I have if he does by way of a double. I guess I'd cue bid then.

Easy 2♠. Great dummy for diamonds, and nice hand if partner fits spades.

 

Come to think of it, I'm not sure a NF 2♠ really does justice.

[WGF_Flame]

If partner's 1♦ promised 4+, I'd bid 2♠

 

you mean unless its some kind of nebulous diamond right ?

I mean you dont mind it to be better minor 1 diamond.

[Cyberyeti]

It does say it's a precision diamond, but I've played versions of precision where that means a minimum of anywhere between 0 and 4 of them, so I have no idea how likely partner is to actually hold them, and this makes it quite awkward to judge my hand.

[gwnn]

Opener told us that 2♠ was non forcing. So let's accept that. If so, 2♠ looks more or less right on the money. will bid diamonds next round, on the 4 level if necessary.

 

Oh now I see that 1♦ is "precision". I assume it means that it's 2+. In that case 2♠ is a very good bid and I don't see what anyone dislikes about it.

IMO 2♠ = 10, _X = 2.

Then kindly change my answer to ABSTAIN! lol

2S for me, and its not a super max for the bid.

[rduran1216]

2S is definitely forcing.

 

What now when partner bids 2NT, with Qx KQxx Jxx AJxx

 

Partner definitely can have clubs, he can have just about anything. This is a downside of precision.

 

I'm doubling in a heart beat, and bidding 2S over 2H.

What is your call X or 2sp - non forcing

 

2S is definitely forcing.

Lovely to see you read the OP very carefully!

 

For those who didn't realize yet: 1♦ was alerted as Precision, and you're obligated to play NFB's. If you can't accept that, don't respond...

 

I'd just bid 2♠, I don't see a reason to Dbl when I have an offensive hand with a decent suit. It doesn't mean the auction is over.

blah blah blah

 

The OP stated that 2S was non-forcing.

[dake50]

Is X forcing? I assume 2D is not? Assume 2H is not?

2S is specified not! 3C is not?

Is 2NT a D-raise invite+? Is 3S fit bid?

Awful to not have a 2-bid description cheaply

as that must be common: I have this suit and D-fit.

 

Is this a passed hand structure?

[dake50]

Is this question intended to invite the "it is non-forcing"

BUT partner will field the table and rebid his diamonds when that is right.

Won't push 4S with his good fit by "table feel" WHICH EQUALS STYLE.

[Free]

I have this suit and D-fit.

Which ♦ fit??? Opener shows 2+♦!

[Finch]

In a context where partner's 1D was Precision, I am happy with 2S non-forcing.

 

I don't get all these vicious complaints about playing 2S as non-forcing. I know that NFBs aren't very popular any more, but

(i) I play them in one partnership, and they work fine

(ii) what are becoming much more popular are 2-level transfers by responder, because all those people who gave up NFBs now hate the fact that they can't tell partner where their long suit is after an overcall.
