We DO play 3♦ shows the invitational hand with good 6 card suit .. but I'm not sure this is the right hand for it. Ragged diamonds and most of your values in clubs. Partner rates to have a fistful of major suit cards. Are you bidding 3♦ anyway? However if you respond 1NT, what are you bidding over 2♣? What about 2♠? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play 3♦ here as invitational with a good 6 card diamond suit, then I don't see why you wouldn't use that bid for this hand. It isn't perfect (what is your definition of "good"?), but it sure matches the description of the call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 IMO, if you use a direct 3D as 10-12 with a decent 6-bagger, you have to do it with this hand. Otherwise, if pard rebids 2♥, you will either have to overstate your hand with 2NT or understate it with 3♦ on the next round. We have different agreements (direct 3D is the weaker one but not as weak as Pass), and different concerns on this hand. After forcing 1NT, and a 2♣ rebid, I think 2D is sufficient. I don't want to raise for a 4-3 fit and suspect partner has 3 hearts and only 2 diamonds. Partner might surprise by bidding again to show pattern and extras, and we can find 3NT or 5C.

Free Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 1NT for me, this suit is quite poor to bid 3♦ imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about 2♠? 1nt if pard rebids 2c then I rebid 3d which is 6+D less than invitational values. If pard rebids 2s I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 1NT, then over 2♣, raiseover 2♠, pass avoiding the 2♥ elephant in the room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 avoiding the 2♥ elephant in the room? The OP only asked about what the 2♣ and 2♠ rebids. Over 2♥ I'll bid either 2NT or 2♠ depending on how I feel at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP first asked what is your plan with the hand. A plan which is ill-prepared for a likely follow-up is not a good thing. While 2NT is just a bit of an overbid when opener rebids 2H, 2S on a singleton cannot be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 1NT, then 2♣->2♦ (slight underbid but we will be in a makeable contract)2♥->2NT (slight overbid but no reason to think 3♦ is easier)2♠->pass 2NT->3NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 2S on a singleton cannot be right. Why not? KQTxxAQJxxxxx And I'm not even considering 6-4s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Agree with 1NT, and definitely 2NT over 2H. The fact that 2S can be the best contract doesn't mean that 2S can be the right bid with this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 To see what the "right bid" is, you'd have to run a simulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
