barmar Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 People have been complaining about the incorrect explanation of responsive doubles for as long as I can remember. The bids are correct according to the normal definition of the bid, it's just the explanation that doesn't match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 What is the normal definition for (1M)-X-(2M)-X and for (1m)-X-(2m)-X ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetb Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 For (1M)-X-(2M)-X , the X should show at least 4-4 in the minors (usually more, but with some points and no Spades can with 44). For (1m)-X-(2m)-X , the X should show at least 4-4 in the Majors (sometimes more). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasetb Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 GIB totally blew the hand you just posted - it's bid is 2♥ or 3♥. I would lean toward 2, figuring that if partner had extras (s)he would make a move and then I would gladly bid game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
