mgoetze Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 [hv=pc=n&n=saqha96dq962caqt9&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1c2d3dp]133|200[/hv] 1♣ = 11-13 bal or 17+ any3♦ = Hearts, INV+ opposite 11-13 bal I couldn't find much in the notes except that bidding their suit at the 3-level asks for a stopper, which doesn't seem to be an option here.It would seem to me that both 3♥ and 4♥ show the weak balanced hand, 3♠ and 4♣ should be NAT GF, leaving 4♦ and 4NT as strong heart raises. Does that sound right? If that sounds right to you, would you bid 4♦ here or 4NT? If you bid 4♦ and partner bids 4♥, do you give up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonylee Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 4♦ then give up, I don't have that much more than promised (yes yes I know aces but well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreivi68 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I don't know much about Swan but I played swedish club (pass system Carrotti) back in the 80's. After interference at two level 1♣ opening was treated like it was mini NT. So bids from 2NT upwards were lebensohlish. I think lebensohl or rubinsohl would do fine also here.

gwnn Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 4NT sounds like quantitative (which should be like a semi-balanced 20-21 count without a heart fit). 4♦ is the only bid available. Strong hand, not long clubs, not long spades, I guess that means it has a heart fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
