Where do we put the brakes on?

[mike777]

again many play it shows 5-4gf not 4-4gf by responder this is quite common but as I said in my post different versions exist.

 

yes that means with 4-4 and gf responder will still skip over the d suit and may lose the suit. Again this is to find the major fit at a low level and show 5-4 at a low levelat the cost of not finding the 4-4 d fit at times.

 

you may or may not still find your d fit via checkback depending on the the auction goes so we don't worry about losing the d fit in favor of showing 5-4:

 

1c=1h

1nt=2d(gf cb)

3d

 

or

1c=1h

2c=2d(artgf)

3d

Imo you are mistaken about 'walsh' convention or you are playing a custom made toy and calling it 'walsh" Perhaps you are opening way too light and 15 hcp by responder is not enough for GF ?

 

In which version of walsh, responder skips the ♦ suit and starts with major, holding 4-4 in reds, with a crystal clear GF hand ?

You're right ofcourse, I saw one T-Walsh auction too many and I forgot about the 4 card ♦ suit...

If East is willing to go to the 3-level on his rebid, he might as well make a more descriptive bid of a 3D! reverse-splinter ( some refer to it as a mini-splinter ) for ♥ .

If West considers his ♦ holding as negative for slam, he might just sign-off in 4H .

hmmm....never heard it referred to as a "Reverse-Splinter" --- "Mini-Splinter" or...A "Jump-Reverse" maybe. Will need to add this to my bridge lexicon. :)
