Can't learn from the expert guinea pigs; they didn't face this exact situation because they saw a different initial response. So...given the 1♥-1♠ sequence, what do you bid here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...given the 1♥-1♠ sequence, what do you bid here? 3C! = GF, Cl may be artificial 1H - 1S3C! - 3D! ( asks ).. 3H = long Hts, Cl was artificial.. 3S = 3 cards Sp, Cl was artificial.. anything else: Cl are real 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tolvyrj Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I assume im not allowed to invent a convention for this situation.3♥ strong hand and 6+ hearts; ok i know i might have just bury my KQJ of ♠, but the risk that prd have just 4 card ♠ suit is too big.If i had to pick another bid then it would be 2♦ at least i have a stopper in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandakh Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 My ladder for a hand with long hearts opposite a weak hand with spades runs (point count approximate) 10-15: 1H - 1NT; 2H (1NT showed spades and less than invitational strength)16-17: 1H - 1NT; 3H18-20: 1C - 1D; 1H - 1S; 2H - 2S; 3H (1H and 1S artificial)Acol 2: 1C - 1D; 2H - 2S - 3HGF: 1C - 1D; 1S - various; 2H - 2S; 3H ("various" depends on Responder's strength within the 0-8 range) I rate this hand as an Acol 2 and so pick option 4. If partner were to have 9+ hcp then they would give a positive response and we would go into relay-mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxhong Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Without any gadgets, I think it's a 4H bid over 1S to show a nice 7 card H suit and game value. If I play transfers, I can bid an easy 2D to show 6+H and later to clarify my shape and strength.
