phoenix214 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Today we had a small misunderstanding about how to show a strong one-suited minor after opps bid over our strong club. The bidding goes1♣-(1♥), 1♠(5-7 with 5 spades)-(3♥). The problem we had misunderstanding was, which bids are for spades, NF, and own suit. My idea was that 4m-Natural,not too strong(inviting perhaps), 4♥Something like Choice of Game, 4NT-Good old RCKB, onesuited slam hands bid via X and then their suit.My partner thought that 4m(same), 4H as cue for spades, 4NT as minors, and X and then something, dont remeber :(Anyhow the bidding went on:4NT-5♣, 5♦, 5♥-6♦-6♠-(X)-6NT down 26 Diamonds was making because partner was with a strong diamond suit. From what i though he was probing for a spade grand(good that i had diamond support i guess)Anyhow the question i have is how do most people play these situations?

straube Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I would think... dbl-responsive (minors) or a very big hand4m-nf4H-strong spade bid4S-to play4N-RKC That's analogous to... 1H (1S) 3H ? In general, I think 3M should be forcing. So if your auction had gone... 1C (1D) 1S (3D) 3H I would think is forcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I would think...dbl-responsive (minors) or a very big handI would have thought you played Thrump here. Double as asking if Responder has a 6th spade or a heart stopper seems like it would work well. Then the 4m rebids are clearly forcing.

I think I would prefer responsive/takeout/big hand. One could double and then f/u with 4H as choice of games. Should 1C (1H) 1S (3H) 4m be forcing anyway? I mean it's a partnership agreement and I would think not, but maybe it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
