We were playing precision. Playing MP. Opponents Were Asleep...

1♦ : 11~15 no any 5 card Major

2♣ : 12+ 11+ 4+♣

3♣ : 14~15 4+♣fit, 4+♦

3♦ : Double Fit, although diamonds may be 4-3 (In case Opener is 4-1-4-4, 3-2-4-4 open 1NT 4-0-4-5 ...)

3♠ : Cue Bid / Stopper Bid

3NT : Stopper in Hearts.

 

My questions are:

Is the 3♦ correct ?

 

What could north do beyond 3NT ?

If north wants to take actions beyond 3NT(like cue bidding...), should he had bid 3♥ instead of 3♠?

I would have tried 3H with the North hand rather than 3C, assuming that it would be a splinter in your partnership. But after 3C, I think I would have tried 3H as South, which must surely be a probe for notrump. North might continue with 3S, and then might pull South's 3NT bid to 4C, and they might reach the excellent slam.

Yes obviously you want a more descriptive club raise, but without one available I do not think it's with the odds for north to pass 3NT. A void is a pretty big deal considering he would have bid the same way with the same honors but 2254.

3♠, 4♦ are now cue bids.

5NT : GSF

7♣ : Two of Top Three Honors

 

Any comment to those bidding so far ?

 

Thanks for reply

Sorry but in our system, 1♦ 2♣ 3♥ is natural. (Showing Heart Stopper(s), 5+♦, could have ♠ stopper)

 

I am wondering what sort of hands can justify the 3♦ bid from the bidding 1♦ 2♣ 3♣(GF) 3♦ ? Should it be a better support like ♦AQx ? Or should it be a hand without any major stoppers ?

 

Also, I am wondering in what situations the 4♣ bid is to retreat and in what situations the 4♣ bid is to invite slam, as sometimes our players mess with that.

 

Thanks
