Bende Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Given that you after a 1♣ opening bypass diamonds without a game force, what do you play 2H and 3H respectively to mean in these auctions? 1. 1♣ - 1♦; 1♥ - 2♥2. 1♣ - 1♦; 1♥ - 3♥ I would assume 3♥ shows a game force? Would you want to play 2♥ to be a three card raise, even though opener is very unlikely to hold a five card suit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yup, 2H = 3-card INV, 3H = GF. Obviously these aren't the most vital descriptions to have available which goes part-way to demonstrating the superiority of transfer walsh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Timo will say that 2♥ shows GF. Agua and I think 2♥ shows 8-10 and 3 pieces and 3♥ is GF. I've never heard of it being 3 and invitational but that idea has merit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of it being 3 and invitational but that idea has merit.Yep. Except I have actually (with same partner) gone from Timo's to Micky's before settling on yours over the past 25 years. Edit: The choice between 8-10 and 11-12 is dependent upon our style decision whether to show 8-10 with a 1N response to 1C, and then whether to respond 1NT 8-10 3-3-5-2 and no spade stop. We might go back to "MickyB" style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you want to play 2♥ to be a three card raise, even though opener is very unlikely to hold a five card suit? 2h is gf3h basically does not exist but if bid would show some huge hand and slam going. no you are not showing some 3 card weak/limit raise...no. We also play xyz so if need be we can bid this way to show a 3 card limit raise: 1c=1d1h=2c(forces 2d)2d(forced)=2h the main point being with slam going hands stay low and with only a 7 card fit and less than gf try and stay at the two level, not 3 level.

barmar Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 It all depends on your style of Walsh. Some bid 1♦ when they have a 4-card major only with GF hands, some bid it with invitational or better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
