vodkagirl Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hi guys, I am thinking of playing short club. So whenever I open 1D I will always be four cards. However, my 1C could be as little as 2 cards. I also know that some 2/1 players do not play 2/1 over a 1C opening. Is there any connection between the short club and this 2/1 tendency? If not then what is the reason that 2/1 players do not play 2/1 over 1C openers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 If not then what is the reason that 2/1 players do not play 2/1 over 1C openers. In general, jump shifts and raises are not described as 2/1 An auction like 1♠ - 2♦ is a "2/1" bidAn auction like 1♣ - 2♦ is "jump shift" Using this type of definition, there is no such thing as a 2/1 after a 1♣ opening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I guess since 1C is sort of like "1 noise", then you might describe 2C as a 2/1 bid. The rest of us would call it inverted with 5+ clubs. Same end result as far as your system is concerned, provided you agree on follow-ups and on how strong this 2C bid should be.
