Cyberyeti Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 2♣-2♥(no ace or king)-5♦ If you don't play this system: 2♣-2♦-4♦(solid suit, please cue)-5♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I would open 2C! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Anything works. Whatever sets trump and demands control bidding. The immediate 2H negative breaks even this time vs other methods. Doesn't make it a good idea, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'm a huge fan of playing 2♥ as a double negative, and here it will help a fair amount. Unfortunately I don't have the methods to find out if partner has the ♦8 and ♥Q, and I suggest that anyone who does should probably take up another game. Even 2♣-2♦-4N as a queen ask won't do, since we need an entry. I suppose even 6x might be enough on a good day... Once again, I don't think I can ever find out this information. I would bid 2♣-2♥-5♦-P and give up on other possibilities. Obviously at MPs I might punt 3N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 you are already 55% to make 6♦ so bidding that can't be horrible however if partner holds ♣A and either of the 2 black K you are making 7♦ (I am not saying this is the only holding that will make that) so perhaps a forcing to game call (i.e. SA's 2♣ call) is in order followed by a call that shows a solid suit should help you find out that information.

Free Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 opening 2♣ will immediately show me if I can ever make slam or not. When partner responds 2♥ negative, he won't have ♠K or ♣A, in which case I can just play 5♦. Otherwise I'll ask for Aces and maybe Kings.
