mtvesuvius Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Definitely interested in slam -- Partner could have passed if they were Weak(ish), as 2♦ should allow one forcing pass. Therefore 3♥ should be strong, I'd start with 4♣ then bid 4♥ over 4♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduran1216 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

cloa513 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 XX, wtp? Makes it too easy for opponents to choose 4 or 5 hearts as a sacrifice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWO4BRIDGE Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it show a first-round control in hearts? Then that's my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Makes it too easy for opponents to choose 4 or 5 hearts as a sacrifice. Because it is so much more easy for LHO to bid 4♥ over XX, than it is over 4♣/4♦??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( 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 .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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfa1010 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 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.

cherdano Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 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.
