TWO4BRIDGE Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 How would you handle this one using mikeh's treatment? NorthA K J 9 xA J 9xA Q 9 x SouthQ 10 xQ xx x xK 8 x x x 1S - 1NTF3C! - 3D!3NT! - ?? where 3C! = a "multi" GF : - - artificial (either a gf 1-suiter, just a hair under a 2♣opening, or - - real clubs or - - precisely a 4 card heart suit. 3D! = "noise" or "stall" ( essentially asking for more info ) After 3D! , Opener's options are: - - 3♠ (1-suiter), - - 3♥ (precisely 4... because all gf 5 card ♥ would have jumped to 3♥ over 1NT ), - - 3N (4 card clubs) or - - 4♣ (5-5 or better).

PhilKing Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 If you are playing "Jeff's Elixir" as per the original guidelines, this is a 2♣ rebid. The spade/club two suiters that go through 3♣ are not 5(13)4. Rubens never recommended 3♣ on this pattern. On the actual hand, why on earth is that not a 2♠ raise, even if playing constructive raises? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Opener makes a GF and shows a real ♣ suit, Responder could upgrade with support in both blacks.... but I'm not sure how over 3NT!

mikeh Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I would bid 2♠, not 1N. I play what we call semi-constructive, as in we go through 1N only with crap 3 card support, and this isn't crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If partner perpetrated the sequence you suggest to 3NT, I can bid 4♣ to show a club fit and then 4♠ non-forcing (typically Hx) over a red suit cue. The hand is too good for that though, I will bid 4♣ then 4NT to show a forcing ♠ feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( showing real ♣ ) with the double-fit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
