Vampyr Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 What is 3♥? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Would have bid 3♦ not 2, this is a 7.5 playing trick hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barsikb Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Vampyr, 3♥ was showing 5Spades-4(5)Hearts and Game-Forcing Cyberyeti, thank you for your opinion. But if you had to pick up bidding from that point on...? Or what would you do if it went 1D-1S-3D-3H-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 i would bid 4d over 3h. as an aside, it's pretty much universal among stronger players to play 2h as forcing. as 2h is forcing, 3h is available for something more useful. common uses are a splinter in support of diamonds or an invitational hand with 55 majors, with a stronger hand bidding 2h and 3h.

barsikb Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 wank, how to show hand with 6 Honor points only and 5S-4H then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 oops double post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 you normally don't need to - you won't have a game on if partner wasn't strong enough to reverse into hearts himself and partner normally has 6 diamonds. yes, if you have something like a 5404 shape you'll have to bid 2h and wish it was non-forcing, but saving space to get to the right game and slam is much more important than occasionally playing the wrong part score.

Vampyr Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Vampyr, 3♥ was showing 5Spades-4(5)Hearts and Game-Forcing Right, very unusual treatment. I am curious what 2♥ would have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilG007 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I would give support to ♥. Partner is showing a major two suiter at least 5-5.The ♥King is a very useful card indeed.No Trumps are out of the question with two such very unbalanced hands with voids andsingletons highly likely. 6♥ is looking very good.

P_Marlowe Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 You have 8 diamonds, you want to play diamonds.If 3H is gf, bid 4D, setting the suit, if it is NF, bid 5D. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 wank, how to show hand with 6 Honor points only and 5S-4H then?There are treatments out there, but those treatments are not B/I stuff, search for Meckwell / Reverse Flannery.
