ArcLight Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yikes. With 2-way, I can't rebid diamonds to play --in addition to not being able to suggest club support (with the normal minimum response hands). I never said you can rebid Diamonds to play.I meant you can find out about openers major suit holding.I must not have been clear, sorry. Special case1C – 1D, 1NT -? Can also use TWC. This sequence has different meanings if you use Walsh responses (responder bypasses diamonds to bid a 4 card major). Since it’s unlikely you are looking for a major, you may want to assign some different meanings to the follow up bids, such as auto splinters. I think the original poster has a method where by they can find out about openers majors, hence his comment about bidding the major showing 6.

kenrexford Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 What a weird world people choose to live in. "I have clubs.""I have diamonds.""I have no other suits to mention." After that start, no one can bid clubs or diamonds naturally. Why? To make sure that we can distinguish 4M/5♦ from 4M/6♦. Of course, we can distinguish 4M/5♦ from 4M/6♦ below 3NT anyway, simply by bidding naturally. But, why do it naturally when you can make everything artificial? Weird.
