What is your bidding plan?

[mike777]

yes 4s there is indeed exclusion playing kickback

 

1nt=2d

2h=4s!

in my system I would start with transfer followed by 3d to show red suit

2 suiter and game forcing. I have no intention of stopping at 3n.

 

how the bidding proceeds from there depends on what opener bids.

 

if opener bids 3s (showing spades stopped but not clubs) (unless they are cuebidding

with a max where they will cue bid some more) i will bid 4h as a sign off try.

if opener bids 4c showing clubs stopped but not spades (responder may still be

able to bid 4n as an invite to 6n). I have sufficent values to bid 7h.

 

if opener bids 3n i will follow with (4s or 5c) --in this case 4s- to show my 0652

hand slam invitational (10-13) 0553 (14-16) and let opener decide where to play (though i

will convert dia contracts to hearts). (opener will usually place contract at proper level

or bid 5n to encourage 7 if responder is near the top of their range)

 

The key is letting p know about the 2 suited nature of your hand. This allows them to

make a much more intelligent decision on how high to go. Sometimes it is best to let

the player looking at their cards decide how well they fit with yours instead of your worrying

about all the possible great vs horrid fits available.[/Quote]

 

i agree with gszes

 

 

I guess most of our players would start with 1NT - 2♦ - 2♥ - 3♦ (Game Forcing , at least 5-4).

 

If unluckly opener rebid 3NT then, i may try 5♥ unless we specify 4♠ over 3NT is cue bid.
