MrAce Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I saw a lot of multi topics lately, and as i said in another topic that in past i've played multi for very long years. One thing stroke me the most was, even at some very high level pdships, when me or my pd opened multi, i saw some very good opponents having trouble to give us the explenation of this 2♠ bid, simply they were not sure. (2♦)-2♥-(pass)-2♠ 2♦= weak 2 in a major or strong balanced hand. 2♥=Natural overcall In this context, what does 2♠ mean to you ? A- I have ♠ suit and one of us is bidding their suit. (If thats how u play then how do you cue ? 3♦? 2 NT ? Cheapest minor ?) B- I have ♥ support and cuebidding. Also, is this auction any different than (2♦)-2♠-(pass)-3♥ ? if so explain why please.

manudude03 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I play 2S there as a good ♥ raise. Similarly in your second auction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Also, I learned this from Clee: 1D*-2D**-p-3C 1D precision (could be doubleton, or perhaps shorter), 2D natural, 3C=good raise of D and similarly 1D*-2C-p-2D good raise of C (well, maybe it would be better to play this as stayman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolvyrj Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Good question. Defending Multi is an artform an sich and ive seen many variations. One recently popular way is play DBL as a T/O for ♠ suit.We play 2♠ as natural and RF and same goes with that 3 ♥ case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Yes. This is your option (B).Although I don't think 2D 2H P 2S promises heart support: what do you bid on a 3244 15-count with no spade stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semeai Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Yes. This is your option (B).Although I don't think 2D 2H P 2S promises heart support: what do you bid on a 3244 15-count with no spade stop? You could decide to bid 3C with this hand to gain the clear inv+ raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
