dickiegera Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Is 3♠ a forcing bid? If not what is? Thank you[hv=pc=n&s=sahkjdakj54cqt984&n=skqjt742haq4d7caj4&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=1dp1sp3cp3s]266|200[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 It's IMO forcing if you play weak jump shifts (which I presume you do as this would be 1♦-2♠ if you didn't). Our auction would be so different it wouldn't be much help: 1♦-2♠(one suited rock crusher or GF fit bid)3♣(natural but guaranteeing at least xx or Q in spades)-3♠(one suited type)4♦(cue)-4N(KC)5♥(2 without Q)-5N(anything else)6♦(K♦ no K♣)-6♥(I have K or Q ♥, do you have the other ?)7♠(yes)-7N (7+3+2+1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Yes it's forcing because 3C is GF. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWO4BRIDGE Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Wasn't 3C a GF jump-shift ? You have a 17 hcp count ( with a 7 card near solid ♠ suit ) opposite a supposed 18,19 : 1D - 1S3C - 6S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Wasn't 3C a GF jump-shift ? You have a 17 hcp count ( with a 7 card near solid ♠ suit ) opposite a supposed 18,19 : 1D - 1S3C - 6SI assume you meant there to be a bit more bidding between 3C and 6S, and that is where you would end up. That blast seems to answer "no" to the question in the OP, while I believe you agree the answer is "yes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Ofcourse it's forcing. 3♣ is Game Forcing and 3♠ is below game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Is 3♠ a forcing bid? Yes, Wyman said why. If not what is? 3♠ is forcing but 3♦ or 3♥ or 4♣ would be forcing as well, for the same reasons what Wyman said. You will not stop shy of game as Free wrote, simple as is.

han Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 This one is obviously forcing, but 1D -1S - 3D - 3S should also be played as forcing, even though 3D was NF. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
