bluecalm Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 - T9 AJT7432 K642, both vul, imps 1S - p - 1NT p2C - p - ? 2C is 5S-4+C 12-17hcp btu not 15-17 and 5-5 (that would jump to 3C). What is my plan here ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I will start with a 2d BART, a very commonly used convention. I expect to end up in 5d but will let pard describe his hand a bit more over 2d bart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Most of the available bids (probably all of them) are not forcing. If there's a forcing bid like the one mentioned above I'd try that but as it is a jump to game or slam in clubs is probably best. You could also risk 3♦ for the sake of description and choosing a better strain wwhen available. Maybe that's the right approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 slam in clubs That's pretty optimistic. Partner may well have AKxxx Kxx x Qxxx or something like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is my plan here ? btw how can pard promise 4clubs? What does he rebid with say: Jxxxx...AQx...xx....AQx orJxxxx...AQx....xxx....AQ?

the hog Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 - T9 AJT7432 K642, both vul, imps 1S - p - 1NT p2C - p - ? 2C is 5S-4+C 12-17hcp btu not 15-17 and 5-5 (that would jump to 3C). What is my plan here ? You did not bother to say whether 1NT is forcing, whether 2C can be 3 or even 2 cards, so it is impossible to give an answer to half a problem.

He said 4+♣ for the 2C response, though I admit the formatting is tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I have no way to show a good fit and spade shortness. So I try 4 ♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I am sorry for not clear description. It was pick-up partnership and I intended it as judgement call (ie. how many clubs to bid). We didn't agree to play BART (and it's not standard in Poland). Maybe 3D would be understood as 6D-4C but I wasn't sure about it. btw how can pard promise 4clubs? What does he rebid with say: Jxxxx...AQx...xx....AQx orJxxxx...AQx....xxx....AQ? Pass and pass. It's standard way to play in PC. 15-17 hands bid 2NT now and 5-3-3-2 with 12-14hcp pass. It's possible to play that way because openings are limited to 17hcp, it also gives you intermediate jumps: 15-17hcp with 5-5 distribution, so partner doesn't hold that hand.

whereagles Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 3D seems fine. The side club fit will help covering up our losers. If pard now bids 3NT, pass. Else show the club support. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
