I intend to bid clubs at my first turn, and bid 2S at my second turn after 2D. If that doesn't get a spade raise, I intend to bid clubs and more clubs, and I'm not going to play this in 3NT.

I would had bid 1NT previous round.

partner opens 1D and u bid 1N with 7-5? are you serious????

I am always serious :angry:, ok, I am sometimes serious is more accurate :D , but this is one o this times, 2 promises more strenght and leads to a high contract, and I just wanna play 3, wich is what I am gonna rebid if partner or opponents aren´t balanced (wich I kinda expect).

Partner (north) opens 1D, and rebids 2D after your 1S. What next?[/hv]

It's an easy 2C no matter what system you play. I rate 1NT as very conservative, and I don't think it not serious:P I am strongly against 1S and 1S shouldn't really work for this hand.

I voted for an invitational action, but then ran a simulation and concluded that some game is more than 70% to make. 4 spades is the most likely (55%), followed by 5 clubs (50%), 3 notrump (30%), and 5 diamonds (3%). (Some hands make more than 1 game.) Since there are multiple possibilities that must be considered, it seems necessary to attempt to describe your hand to partner, starting with 2 clubs, and let him make the final decision.

 

If you start with 1 spade, and hear a 2 diamond rebid, you are now less than 50% to make game, so some bailout might be appropriate.

I must bid spades first because after

1d-2c

2h-2s is 4th suit and I am unable to show my 5 spades.

 

I think that 3c should be forcing.

 

What about 2nt now? It's game invit in my system.

Hmmmm..

 

Any system that forces you to respond 1 with this hand must be seriously flawed. The problem with 2 followed by 2 is not that 2 is "fourth suit" forcing, but that is shows a much better hand (reverse). For me, 2 and if partner rebids 2 I then bid 3. Even if partner bids 2 over 2 I rebid 3.

Do I plan to hide my spade suit? WEll if partner can only scrape together a 2 call, yes, I will hide my spade suit. If partner reverses to 2, I will pull it out, as now it is no longer a true reverse in my mind. Somehow, the feature of this hand is the excellent seven card suit. HEre the original poster wanted to bail without bidding that suit. And the poster I quoted was so worried about losing spades through a fourth suit forcing auction, he gave up entirely on clubs (even planning maybe a 2NT rebid with the 7-5 hand never showing clubs.

 

I maybe odd, but I like bidding my long, strong suits before bidding my short weak ones, and I don't like rebidding NT naturally with 7-5 hands wihtout bidding my suits.

Tricky hand. Bidding

 

1D 2C

2D 3C

 

is probably the best, but, having bid 1S initially, I would be careful now. The hand is not as hot as at seems, and I would bid it like:

 

1D 1S

2D 2S

 

One could try a 3C bid, hoping to induce pard into a delayed spade raise, but if that fails there's no telling where we'll end and therefore a simple 2S is perhaps best. There is no bid to show this hand, nor is there any way to extract more info from pard without getting too high.
