another help for me

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.

 

 

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

my hand has vastly improved after the 3h bid and my *underbid of 2c with

my 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 3/4

card 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 not

have slam aspirations they can sign off in 4h and we will correct to 4s if we

are say 3217. We can also use the same logic to correct any 6 level heart

contract to spades.

 

There is a down side to this--if p now wanted to use rkc there is no simple

method of differentiating hearts from spades. How does p go about asking

for heart honors when there has been no agreed trump suit. We are prepared

to question p 3h bid vs a much less space consuming 2d bid earlier :))))))))))

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.

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 .
