bluecalm Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I was stretching to construct some hand with clubs. You guy convinced me that it's not easy task. I give up :)So yeah, it shouldn't be natural. Maybe lack of club stopper then ?For example if it went: 1H dbl p 1Np 2n p 3H I would expect 3H being hand strong enough for game but without heart stopper. Maybe it should be something similar in OP problem ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'm happy with DNE, but maybe it's an attempt to get to the right game with KQx AJx xxx xxxx opposite AJxx KQxx AKxx x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloa513 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Two possibilities, partner has a good hand in clubs and therefore doesn't want to let opener get in a cheap rebid as he think opener has few clubs or he has too much cover in clubs e.g. KJ10x and thinks it is most likely opener is double suited so now you have a second suit poorly or not covered at all- either 3C is forcing.

wyman Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'm happy with DNE, but maybe it's an attempt to get to the right game with KQx AJx xxx xxxx opposite AJxx KQxx AKxx x? As a corollary, could it be an attempt to get to the right partial with Kxx AJx xxx xxxx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Anyway, ok, this thread certainly convinced me that this DNE. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyman Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 haha, the "he" was me. It was a CtC and I bid 3C (I wouldn't have pulled this in a real event :)) after bidding 1N with something like Q10x / K9x / Q10xx / Jxx [incidentally, I was repulsed by 1D with this, but apparently 1D is totally normal, and I'm a horrible overbidder], and after 2N I figured a major suit partial was probably best (and obv with clubs stopped well, p will bid 3N). Partner bid 3S and I passed; he was like (bad 5)=3=4=1 or something and we scored up 8 for this debacle (4S=10). When I gave this auction to a friend, his immediate response was "clubs, what else? And apparently he lied about his values when he bid 1N." I wasn't so sure, hence the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BunnyGo Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I thought Do Not Ever. it maybe in other situations, but only "does not exist" fits the grammar of the sentence it was used in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
