Zelandakh Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 2/1, Mike's auction looks fine:-1♥ - 2♦2♠ - 2NT3NT My auction (strong club):-1♥ = 10-17, 5+ hearts, unbal... - 1♠ = INV+ relay2♣ = 4+ spades... - 2♦ = GF relay2♥ = min, 4 spades, not 45(40)... - 3NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I don't think it matters whether you play 2/1 or Acol here, you're going to reach 3N, I think 5♦ is better but I just don't see how you get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 1h normal2d normal2h normal3c normal leaving room for p to bid 3d3s the search for nt continues showing a partialspade stop and no club or dia fit. This could alsobe a cue bid but that will be revealed later. Thisbid might also help right side 3n.3n too hard to avoid the obvious contract at MPespecially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 With any system I play I'd end in 3NT. A reasonable contract imo, needs ♦3-2 and hopefully no extreme distributions in a Major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWO4BRIDGE Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I don't think it matters whether you play 2/1 or Acol here, you're going to reach 3N, I think 5♦ is better but I just don't see how you get there.I'm not advocating it, but Flannery could "get you there" ( to 5D ):2D! - 2NT! ( asks )3NT! - 5D where:3NT! = max 4 5 2 2 w/honors in the minors ...except Opener is not a max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 With such a great concentration of HCP in Diamonds and Clubs, I'd happily give preference to 3D over 3C. Although you're a diamond short, if partner is looking to bid a slam they certainly won't be disappointed with your hand. 1H - 2D2H - 3C3D... Which would certainly get you to 5D at IMPs. At Match-points you still might wind up in 3NT. WesleyC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flameous Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'd have Mike's auction. If E was dealer, I might get to 5♦ after1♦ - 1♥1♠ - 2NT (1♠ is unlimited with ♣s, 2NT is nat inv, we open very light so this is quite borderline GF.)Though 3NT is clear at MPs. Or certainly after1♦ - 1♥1♠ - 1NT (Again 1♠ clubs, now 1NT weak or GF relay, rest is natural)2♦ - 2NT3♦ - 5♦At MPs, it's possible though that 3NT is bid instead of 1NT or 2NT.
