phil_20686 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I really want to know what 2N is. It seens bizarre/impossible that 2N could be natural in this sequence. And I obviously really need to know the requirements for 1N. Is it always a reasonable 55? if so I have a pretty good hand and should bid more than 3d maybe. If it can be 54 i would presume always longer diamonds, as I like to get a natural spade overcall in with 5 spades and 4 diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, you have all the relevant information available.You told your opponents that partner's 1N shows ♠ and ♦. Presumably, that is as far as you have discussed the meaning of the bid.2N was not alerted, so you assume that it is natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 If pd can be 5-4 i am only bidding 3♦, if at least 5-5 by agreement then 4 ♦. If pd has short clubs we actually have chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_clown Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 3♦, my partners sometimes have 4-4 at this vulnerability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jallerton Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 3♣. By a passed hand, this should show a hand competing in one of partner's suits but wanting a club lead. Second choice pass. If you bid 3♦ , it's your fault if partner lets through 4♥ on a diamond lead.

dboxley Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 4♦ looks right. Your partners must be under strict instructions to have very good playing hands to come in W vs R. I personally give my partners a little slack at MP's. But then I don't like playing against your type :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
