frank0 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 You play xyz convention, do you allow partner not to complete transfer if he/she has a good hand and afraid 2♦ being pass out? For example, 1♦-1♥-1♠-2♣(trans to 2♦)-can opener bid something else beside 2♦ here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yunling Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I only violate the transfer with a very unbalanced hand, say KXXX XX Void AKQXXXXafter 1C-1H-1S-2C I'll bid 3C Otherwise I don't think it is necessary, especially after you have shown Diamonds, since 1x-1y-1z shows 12-17HCP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich-b Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Opener should break the transfer (bid something other than 2♦) with any hand that would bid anything (rather than pass) over a natural, non-forcing 2♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Sure. Breaking the tansfer showes the willingness to play 3D, if p happens to have dead min, and game if he has a max. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 This has been discussed at least twice. You can with a hand that would hate it if partner passes 2♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
