mr1303 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Apologies if this is in the wrong forum I've noticed a lot of pick up partners bidding 2D with about a 10 count and a 5 card diamond suit in response to 1C, as though a 1D response doesn't exist naturally. Any ideas why, or is this just a cross I have to bear when I play with a pick-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles123 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 maybe wrong but if you're playing a strong club system isn't 1D a relay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 If you are using an allegedly natural bidding system, it seems to be what you say: the burden you bear with a pickup...I assume you mean on-line, since you could insist IRL that pard not do that. My chosen partner (for life and Bridge) had a dyslexia thing ---only about 2D/1C ---, but only for the first five years. I don't know whether you would like 2D/1C to be very weak or very strong. But, 10+ is in no-man's land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Such a shame this is in the novice/beginner forum, I would have a great response otherwise. Anyway, online pickup partners are wacky. You should try to get away from them as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles123 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 with respect why not just respond to the question, I consider my myself n/b for this forum standard but always look at the expert forum etc to learn and would be interested to hear your "great response" Thanks, Eagles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Are they just assuming all pickups play 1♦=♥ or something stupid like that without realising diamonds are shown by a different bid ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Maybe they read this thread: http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/topic/62087-bidding-after-1c/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
