chasetb Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 http://tinyurl.com/cw4s78o Ind. Express tourney - partner timed out and GIB took over after the 1♥ bid. As you can see, there was no description of 3♠, but I think with game in your own hand, 3♠ is NOT proper in my opinion. I think cuebidding followed by 4♠ would show this hand much better. As for a hand that would X and then bid 3♠, I would think that it would would be a similar hand, but not having a side suit Ace (as in 8-9 tricks).

manudude03 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 X followed by 4S shows a hand with game literally made in hand in the Gib system (25+ total points, and it reduces a TP for each honor doubleton). X followed by 3S still shows a huge hand, around 22-24 TP, I think having 3 card support, an honor and a ruffing value (even if it was useless here) is enough to raise.

georgi Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 3♠ - -- twice rebiddable ♠; 20+ total points ( so having 21TP GIB fits here according to rules ) 4♠- -- twice rebiddable ♠; 23-25 total points Currently cuebiding over 2♣ shows strength but it make it look NT shape, it's not step stone to promise game and then show the suit. But even if this was available, why would bother to go through 2♥, letting either opp to reach 4♥. But even at first glance, double+newsuit at level 2 as 2♠ is strong hand, jump in 3♠ can't be just +1 length in spade as 6+♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
