Have tried to include ever imaginable course of action. You are playing with and against experts in a Swiss teams event (imps->VP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAce Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 3♥ for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I can't change my vote at this point. With the corrected auction, I would 3♥ intending to follow up with 4♣ if pard bids 3NT. Pard implied (but did not promise) that he had a minor suited hand, and I have a hand with lots of controls and 4 good clubs. Slam is certainly in the picture if we have a fit and a heart control. If pard rebids 4NT (which should be to play) or 5♣ over 4♣, I will respect his decision. If pard bids 3♠ over 3♥, I will continue with 4♣. My hand is worth at least that. If he signs off in game, I will again respect his decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Transfers rather than Good/Bad 2NT?Yes, I think so. Don't I want to distinguish between a forcing bid and a non-forcing bid, rather than between two ranges of non-forcing bids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Why are we getting all evasive here? We have about a pure 5♣ call to me. No help in hearts, with primes and just the right strength to bid game in this sequence. If a slam is available but partner doesn't bid it, then he doesn't trust our bidding, IMO.

Finch Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 3♥. And thank you for adding to my list of auctions where I want to play transfers. Transfers from which hand? I play transfers by responder here.... but a natural 2NT bid by opener is quite useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Transfers by opener of course. Everybody plays transfers by responder. Anyway, what does your natural 2NT look like? Is it a balanced minimum so that 2♠ can promise six? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_20686 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 If you bid 3♥, partner will bid 4♦, what will you do now? do the auction is: 1♠ (2♥) dble Pass3♥-4♦? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 If you bid 3♥, partner will bid 4♦, what will you do now? do the auction is: 1♠ (2♥) dble Pass3♥-4♦? 5♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a balanced minimum so that 2♠ can promise six? No, because I might want to play in 2S with a balanced minimum.I use 2NT as 15+ balanced (I don't open 1NT on these hands), but it doesn't come up very often. I quite like the idea of transfers by opener here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
