TWO4BRIDGE Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 If partner has shown 5 cards ♠ initially, I'm wondering why you didn't support initially with a 2S bid. Now, I believe partner is showing at least a 5-5 in the majors with the 3H-jump ( forcing ) ; and since I don't want to ruff ♦ with ♥-honors, I'll bid 4S.

Cyberyeti Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I'd have bid 3♣ over 1♠ with 7 playing tricks but I recognise I'm probably in a minority here. 3♥ F1 or GF ? and 5-5 or heart splinter in support of clubs ? I'd bid 3♠ rather than 4 if it's FG, a slam is very possible here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you think if bid 4 ♦ for tell to my partner that I have both majors, choose you and i have cuebid at ♦?Sorry for my bad english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 my hand has vastly improved after the 3h bid and my *underbid of 2c withmy 2 3/4 club hand (courtesy of cyberyeti) and I am now interested in slam.IMO we should now bid 4d dia splinter and at the very worst 3 card spade support (could also have 3/4card heart support) the important part of the message is we have a fit and my hand has improved dramatically since my simple 2c bid. If p does nothave slam aspirations they can sign off in 4h and we will correct to 4s if weare say 3217. We can also use the same logic to correct any 6 level heartcontract to spades. There is a down side to this--if p now wanted to use rkc there is no simplemethod of differentiating hearts from spades. How does p go about askingfor heart honors when there has been no agreed trump suit. We are preparedto question p 3h bid vs a much less space consuming 2d bid earlier :)))))))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I like the 2♣ bid, but please be aware this is a massive underbid. It's a tactical underbid, since the bidding will never stop in 2♣ and by raising spades later we show good clubs. 3♥ is a splinter, surely. But whatever it means, we have a 4♦ bid, even with wasted heart values. Opposite a splinter my spade holding is terrible as well, but 4♦ is still indicated since partner has a minimum of Akxx x qxxx kxxx. And if partner has hearts (which I doubt), 4♦ is still best, even though it agrees hearts. Over 4♠ I bid 6♣ and over 4♥ I will scratch my head, probably concluding a wheel has fallen off since we are a scratch partnership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 2C is certainly not an underbid. I assume 3H is a gf, so i see no reason not to bid 3S now. 4D would be a cue bid agreeing hearts, not a bid promising both majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboxley Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 3♥ is a splinter, surely. Why would this be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Why would this be? Standard splinter where I come from with 2♥ forcing or 2♦ to set up a force if you prefer. But even if partner has the majors, I prefer to bid 4♦. Anyway, once partner bids 3♥ I am playing slam. Maybe I should bid Five Diamonds.

Codo Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I simply bid 3♠, because 4 or 5 ♦ had agreed hearts. I had believed that this is common practice, but obviously it is not.This is surely forcing, because with invitational hands, partner had tried 2 ♥.
