Tony1337 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Suppose this bidding sequence occurs. Opening is 1♣, followed by a 1♥ response. Opener rebids 1♠, which responder raises to 4♠. If opener bides 5♣ at this point, is it taken to be a cuebid or a correction to play in 5♣? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Cuebid of course, unless you are playing with Ken Rexford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Unmistakeable cue in my world, where the 1S rebid can be a huge balanced hand (JS 2S unbalanced) and partner has 13-15 support points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Obv cuebid. You might bi 1S with a 3 card suit reasonably sometimes, but never with clubs good enough to convert to 5C, if your clubs were that good you'd rebid them at some level. If you chose to bid this way with AKx x xxxx AJTxx which wouldn't be unreasonable, you'd pass 4S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2000magic Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Cuebid of course, unless you are playing with Ken Rexford.What would it be if you were playing with Ken: a transfer to diamonds? (To ensure that partner is declarer.) As for the rest of the world: cuebid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrexford Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 What would it be if you were playing with Ken: a transfer to diamonds? (To ensure that partner is declarer.) As for the rest of the world: cuebid. In all fairness, he is right. 5♣ would be focus-shifting RKCB. I am looking at the King and Queen of spades (such that normal RKCB gains me no information) but am missing one (or more) of the club honors. Partner responds as if RKCB, except that he shows the King and Queen of clubs as key cards. If I had a hand where cuebidding could make sense, then I would have good clubs, so cuebidding clubs would be redundant. 5♦ would be by default Exclusion RKCB (excluding diamonds). 5♥ as Exclusion RKCB makes no sense to me, as I cannot imagine a hand where I would have a void in hearts, only bid One Spade, and now use Exclusion RKCB. so, I would assume that 5♥ was a heart cue and therefore 5♠ a "diamond cue." In other words, I would bid 5♥ if I needed a diamond control but 5♠ if I needed a heart control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I love it when Ken Rexford posts as a reply to a call-out. Frankly, I can never tell if he's kidding or not, but either way its entertaining to pretend that he isn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
