i should clarify, we're playing 2/1. Everything u said still holds with the additional, 2 diamonds creates a game force.

 

if u bid 4H, partner will bid 5D

2/1 is even better :)

 

Over 5 I can't imagine what partner could have that they couldn't bid 4 with... QJTxx A AQxx xxx? Anyway I bid 6 and am ready to apologize if it's wrong, but I just cannot think of a hand consistent with the previous bidding that could bid this way.

Does anyone play support DBLs for the minors ?

 

3H-cue ( by Opener ) does not guarantee Diam support... ( definitely a strong hand which could be asking for a stop ) .

 

1S - ( p ) - 2D! - ( 2H )

X!

Keeps the bidding lower and definitely shows 3 card support... but, as usual, does not reveal strength .

I am trying to visualize this strong hand which does not have diamond support but needs help with heart stoppers (and clearly has no more than a jack in clubs). Must have about 7 or 8 spade honors eh?

 

I have stopped trembling at the prospect of the opponents sacrificing in 4 or 5 hearts tho. I trust that insufficient bids are still outlawed.

 

Redouble - there may easily be a grand.

[hv=pc=n&w=s74hdk876543cakq4&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=1sp2d2h3hd]133|200[/hv]if you decide to bid 4D, east bids 5Dif you bid 4C, east will bid 4Dif you bid 4S, partner passes

 

What about redouble? Would it show a first-round control in hearts? Then that's my choice.

Agreeing to Support DBL helps out Responder. It removes any ambiguity of a 3H-cue by opener.

And why unecessarily crowd the bidding by your side in a GF auction?

Let's say Advancer crowds the bidding with 3H after a Support DBL. Now Responder has an easy 4C:

 

1S - ( p ) - 2D! - ( 2H )

X! - ( 3H ) - 4C!

 

Now, if Opener is as strong as purported, he should be able to make a Sp cue ( eventho OP's options shows he won't cue Sp.... probably because of Opener not knowing about a Cl Ctrl... but now he knows ) :

 

1S - ( p ) - 2D! - ( 2H )

X! - ( 3H ) - 4C! - ( p )

4D - ( p ) - 4H! - ( p )

4S!

 

or Opener may just go RKC

If partner can have "anything" then I try XX. If he promises diamond support, I could perhaps bid exclusion 5, but other bids are possible.

I assume that 3 shows a good hand regardless of what type he has, so this should be a question of small or grand slam only with the latter being more likely.

If I have discussed this sequence, then it shows diamond support with heart shortness. I would start cuebidding with 4, obviously followed by 4 over 4.

 

If I haven't discussed this sequence, I hope that partner is sensible and treat his cuebid as promising diamond support with heart shortness.
