aguahombre Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I think after 1M (X), the frequency of a 2-suit fit --and if we find it not getting our side suit roughed slants the preference in favor of splinters. The availability of transfer responses might also be a factor in whether to employ fit jumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Are you guys playing 1♥ (X) 3♠/4♦ as fit jumps and don't have splinters ? This was discussed a few weeks ago. Both are playable; I prefer fitted. Gwnn, can you link me to the thread please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Psyching 1♠ is a very bad idea. This gives LHO four ways to bid spades (double, 2, 3 and 4♠). 4♥ at least puts significant pressure on LHO and only gives one call to show spades. I clicked the upvote button for the 1st time in my life lol. A pretty convincing case against the 1♠ psyche. I never thought of it that way.
