canaya14 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 ♣IMPS. Red against white.At third position you hold : 7 69 5 4A K 10 5 38 4 2 Your partner opens 1 ♣ (can be as short as 2 cards) and RHO overcalls 1♥.What would you bid?(note: according to your system 2♦ would be not forcing but showing some strength between 8/9 to 12 points)After some answers i will post second round of bidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I voted for pass, but of course this type of hand is an advertisement for playing 1♠ (or double) as meaning "I want to bid but don't have a suitable hand & strength for any natural call" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I voted for pass, and I don't know that this type of hand is an advertisement for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I voted for 2♦ 'cause the OP advertised his system allows him to bid a non-forcing 2♦. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statto Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I voted for 2♦ 'cause the OP advertised his system allows him to bid a non-forcing 2♦.2♦ still looks light for the OP system, though I did consider it at some length. Red was amongst the deciding factors for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 It depends on system. As Frances says the book bid here with the most common agreements is pass. There are alternatives though. She gives two - 1♠ or X to show values and no bid - and a third is to play X here as a 1♦ response, Stolen Bid style. I do not really understand playing 2♦ as a NFB but with a lower limit of 8. Also, what does one bid with a GF hand and diamonds? You probably understand your own methods better than we do to be honest. As presented so far it seems that the only 2 realistic options are Pass and 2♦ - whether this hand qualifies for 2♦ is a matter of partnership agreement rather than any fine judgement.

dkham Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I voted for pass, but now I like 2♦. Even though we are a point light we have a good five card suit and three card club support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Pass If the agreement is 2 ♦ shows about 9-12, then I see no reason to violate it with this 9 loser hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 2d 2d = 8/9-12 5+ dia AKTxx and out seems to meet the intent of the rule if not the exact definitionhard to imagine having the spade J would qualify this hand for 2d but not havingit forbids its use. I even have some clubs in case p feels the need to run from dia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I voted for pass, since this is the bid with this hand with the prescribed methods. I prefer to play 1♠ as 4+ ♠ and the response I would have made is double as Negative, only promising the unbid minor and the inability to bid 1NT, 1♠, or raise clubs. Mostly something like this hand.

chasetb Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 While that Diamond suit has AKTxx, that's it. Pass for me - add the 9 or the Jack to that Diamond suit so it has 6 cards, and then I will bid 2♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
