Alibar10 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Opponent opened one nt. Her partner responded 2 spades, adding an alert saying Jacoby t.b. The opener bid 3 hearts and it was played in hearts. I can't find any reference to the t.b. Can anyone tell me? It occurred in the relaxed game and really doesn't make any difference, except I thought I would be able to find something about it and can't. I double checked on the t.b., so I know that's what was written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Looking at the hand record it appears that it was a 1NT overcall rather than an opening for what it is worth. Most likely Responder was just trying to communicate that their 2♠ call was a Jacoby transfer - perhaps the b stands for bid. Of course that is wrong, since only the red suit transfers are Jacoby but it is common for players to use the same nomenclature for 2♠ = weak with a minor. I suspect it was pure accident that they also had 4 hearts. It is difficult to say what Overcaller might have thought the 2♠ advance meant but I doubt they were on the same page here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 If you don't understand an explanation, you should request a further clarification. It doesn't seem like this a general bridge problem. Abbreviated explanations like that are only likely in online bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
