Inference from Reverse Flannery


Recommended Posts

We play 1D-2H as 5+S 4+H weak and 2S as 5S 4H INV. We also play support doubles. How should we use the inference from the reverse flannery convention in this auction?

 

1D - (pass) - 1S - (2C);

dbl - (pass) - 2H

 

If responder has a four card heart suit he also has a five card spade suit and we already have a fit i spades. It can't really be natural and INV since responder didn't bid 2S directly. I suppose it could be 5-5 INV or 5-4 with slam interest. Or maybe a game try with a three card heart suit.

 

How do others handle this auction?

Well, assuming you always respond 1 with 4-4. this must show 5 spades in any case. Given that, we surely have a 5-3 spade fit, and then I think "mild invitation with heart values" really makes sense.
