quiddity Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Han's 2C-XX thread reminded me of a hand from yesterday's Italian championship vugraph: 1♥ 2♣ P PX XX How would you take this redouble undiscussed (with a good partner)? Fantoni (I think) bid this way with something like Txxx AKx K AKxxx and after the next player passed Nunes scrambled with KQJx T98x xxxx x. Neat! So did the redouble show two places to play? Extras? Both? What does advancer do with a bust and 3-card club support - pass and pray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Redbl should show a max hand or something like that. I don't think it makes much sense to rescue yourself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'm sure that Fantoni-Nunes have an agreement as to XX, but I'm not sure what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I suspect a good hand but not a good suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 With no prior agreement, simply strenght. I like han's ideé though. I once tried to convince my partner to use such meanings in a lot of sequences, like: 1♣ - (4♥) - 4♠ - (X) Now XX from both hands should show some extra strenght, but doubt about the denomination. So here opener would typically have a misfit and a good club-suit for an XX, while responder would have secondary (or better) club-support, and a spade suit with deep losers. Partner didn't bite, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
