Lord Molyb Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Inverted minor raises give me a headache. -_- [hv=pc=n&n=shk854dakq4ck8642&d=n&v=n&b=5&a=1cp2c(Inverted%20Minor%20Raise)2s]133|200[/hv] 2 clubs promises 10+ points, 5+ clubs, and no four card major.

mr1303 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Out of the choices given, I call 3D. I would prefer to have 3S as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve2005 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 3♦ seems clear cheapest control on way to possible slamcan bid 3 or 4 ♠ at next turn and shows diamond stopper were partner has 3N hand but no ♦ stopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 first reaction is 4♠, but before bidding it we need to know if we will accept a 5♣ sing off. Would partner bid 5♣ with ♠Qxx ♥Ax ♦xxx ♣Axxxx? maybe, and we make grand there!, I am not accepting a sing off so maybe 4♠ is not the best bid avaible, maybe 3♥ to be followed by 5♠, we want partner to know heart honnors/doubleton are important, bidding 3♦ acomplishes little, he won't like his usual ♦xxxx or ♦xxx. I think it is a bid to avoid. So 3♥ for me, if partner bids 3NT by himself then perhaps missing slam is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Three spades seems right to me, showing a good hand with spade shortness is my number one priority at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Three spades seems right to me, showing a good hand with spade shortness is my number one priority at this point. Does it really promise spade shortness too ? If so i am all up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I think 3S is a splinter, same as 1C-2C-3S would be without the interference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
