Hanoi5 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 [hv=pc=n&s=st2hkq8743dq4cqj9&n=sq653hajt6dj5ca86&d=n&v=e&b=9&a=1c1d1h2d2h3d4h5ddppp]266|200[/hv] How can these situations be clarified? How can North know south's jump to game is based on a great fit and not high cards? By passing? How can a forcing pass situation be set up?

Fluffy Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 This is a normal opener shows, responder decides situation. North doens't really have to make any more bids after 2♥, but if he decides his 2 aces are good enough to beat the contract double is not awful. Just that it doesn't have to work all the time. Jumping to game is never creating FP situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMoe Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Agree w/Fluffy - jumps don't create FPs. Now, if South had bid 4♦ instead of 4♥... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 There's no FP set up and you don't need one. So why would North Double? He doesn't have any extra's or anything else useful to mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can North know south's jump to game is based on a great fit and not high cards? By passing? How can a forcing pass situation be set up?Any jump to game in a competitive auction announces captaincy. When S bid 4♥, he told partner that he, South, was in charge. North had no rights over 5♦, unless he had an unexpected diamond holding, which would allow for a double, Otherwise, he must pass...note he CANNOT ever bid 5♥.. South could establish a gf by making any call above 3♥ and below 4♥. Such a call, given that hearts are agreed-upon, establishes a gf and is usually descriptive, but is not to be taken as a slam try. Say South had club length and short weakness in spades: say he was 1=6=2=4, with enough for game. He may anticipate a need to involve partner over a likely save by the opps: he can do this, with the right hand, by bidding 4♣ over 3♦. This tells partner that a double fit may exist, which is the sort of scenario where double game swings exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
