gwnn Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 BTW gnasher advocated at some point that these cues by opener be COG bids (primarily - you would still bid it with a strong raise) instead because it is more important to look for a strain than just concentrate on slam. Did you convince any of your partners, gnasher, to try them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you convince any of your partners, gnasher, to try them?No. Everyone thinks I'm barking. Anyway, I wouldn't necessarily want to play that in this sequence, where both hands are unlimited, so there's more value in being able to show a slam try.

han Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Trinidad suggested that American players tend to bid 3S with a strong 5332 while Dutch (no, European even) players would double. I know that I usually don't discuss bridge with the same crowd as he does, but I really don't recognize this. I also don't see how his style is playable. By the way, good hand for playing transfers after 1D - 3C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
