I wish I had written down the description of what 2♦ would have meant; I just remember that I didn't think it fit my hand. Bottom line: apparently, GIB thinks that introducing a new suit here specifically denies having 3-card support. Hopefully this can be changed.

xxhong Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 What you should worry more is the explanation of 4C to show 1C+, which is just a huge nonsense.

georgi Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I wish I had written down the description of what 2♦ would have meant; I just remember that I didn't think it fit my hand. 1♦ - 1♥ - Pass - 2♦ - Good support in ♥ -- 3+ ♥; 10+ total points ?

Bbradley62 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 1♦ - 1♥ - Pass - 2♦ - Good support in ♥ -- 3+ ♥; 10+ total points ?Is that the full description? I was afraid of not being able to show my suits enough to find the best slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgi Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Is that the full description? I was afraid of not being able to show my suits enough to find the best slam. Yes, that's the entire meaning of the cuebiding the opening suit on 2nd level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Ok. Then, just talking about bridge, how should this auction have gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
