fit-bid or splinter?


Recommended Posts

3=6c; intermediate (10-15 HCP)

From our system: "Fit-bid: When opps compete then we play for responder splinters in suits promised by the opps and fit-bids in other suits. A jump by Opener in competition is a splinter."

It says nothing about advancer.

 

(1)-3-(Pass)-4

=> Is it best to have 4 here as fit-bid or as splinter?

=> ...and 5?

I have in my files ( sorry, no link ) from 2004 regarding Rubens Transfer Advances .

 

He defines the following "Jumps" by Advancer :

 

a ) A jump-shift is a fit-bid in support of overcaller's suit

...... ( 1C ) - 1H - ( p ) - 2S/3D = fit-showing-jumps

 

b ) A jump-cue-bid to the 3-level ( ie. a single-jump ) shows the values for a constructive raise ( 7-9 hcp) with four or more trumps.

...... ( 1C ) - 1H - ( p ) - 3C!

 

c ) A jump-cue-bid to the 4-level ( ie. a double-jump ) shows shortness, support and a slam try ... 4+ trumps

...... ( 1C ) - 1H - ( p ) - 4C! = splinter .

kgr : Now, regarding your auction, if the overcall were 2C, then 3D would be a fit-showing jump and 4D would be a splinter.

But, since your overcall is 3C [ 6c♣; intermediate (10-15 HCP) ] , you may have to redefine to whatever you agree with partner .

I think it will be most logic to have:

- Any bid is forcing (except 4)

- 4: fit-bid

- 4: to play

- 4: splinter

- 5: to play
