the hog Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 2D inverted would be nice if available. Without this I bid 2NT. No doubt some bbo genius posters will try 1S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted December 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yes 2♦ is inverted, but not game force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 3♣ as true limit raise (or the toy 2S limit raise if you play it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted December 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I think 2♦ is soooo clear (and obvious). OK, I play 3♣ is the limit raise, but the player that held this had wasn't, besides, thats not the point. The player that held this bid 2N. Moreso, when I asked him about his choice, he felt it was SUPERIOR to 2♦. No kidding! And I have the highest respect for him as well. I feel that 2N is a serious error. The reasons I don't like it are: 1. Partner will pass 2N on hands like: xx, Axxx, Axxx, KJxx. 2N might make, but +130 is a walk in the park. 2. Pard will bid 3N on hands like: x, Axx, Axxxx, AKxx, where 6♦ is great, but 3N awful. 3♣ isn't forcing either. I just received the complete 2003 / 2004 Bridge Worlds. It looks like there is a reference to an article that discussed responding to invitational 2N calls. I need to check this out; but I think it involves showing major suit shortness.

Misho and I have agreed NOT to bid 2NT with balanced hand with five card minor support when limit raise (criss-cross) is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
