inquiry Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I think standard practice is "unusual versus unusual" (same princple with any known two suiter)... So here... 1♥-P-1♠-2NTDBL = desire to double at least one of their possible contracts3[he[ = competitive, good suit, not a great hand3♠ = cocmpetititve, adequate support but not a great hand3♣ = strong hand, good heart rebid. Forcing only to 3♥ however3♦ = good spade raise (stronger than 3♠ immediately, but forcing only to 3♠3NT = I guess to play without desire to double themThe sme rules would apply to the 1NT overcall for the 2 level rebids. However, I play 2NT as "great" spade raise, and 3♣ and 3♦ as splinter bid spade raise (but not as strong as 2NT). 3NT is all the time here to play.

pclayton Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I would follow Ben's interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double ! Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 u/u sounds reasonable, but curious to know what people would do over 2NT and 1NT with good hand and 3-card spade support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
