AdamL3 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I should know better, but I perpetrated the following sequence with GIB: 1S-1N-2C-2N-3H-3S-3N. I find GIBs explanation for my 3N bid to be amusing: "4+♣; 4-5♥; 5-6♠; 14+ HCP; 18- total points; partial stop in ♦" Apparently, not only do I have at least 13 cards (maybe more!) in clubs, hearts, and spades, but also I have a little something in diamonds. Cool! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Molyb Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I think 3♥ should show just 3, else you would rebid it over 1NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I think 3♥ should show just 3, else you would rebid it over 1NT You may be right, but I sometimes wonder. If you have 5-4-0-4 shape then, while there is a possibility of missing a 4-4 Heart fit by rebidding 2C, I think that it is rather more likely that partner has bid 1N with a string of Diamonds but inadequate strength for a 2/1 response. The auction may be rather more controlled after 1S-1N-2C-2D-2H, despite that only 3 Hearts are promised by the 2H bid, than after 1S-1N-2H-3D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgi Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Currently GIB would bid 2♥ with priority, so explanation would be corrected to 3-♥. Even with hand 54(04) GIB won't skip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
