akhare Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Oh yeah...much better format. TOSR with QPs: 1♣ - 2♦ (16+; GF 5+ ♣)2♥ - 3♣ (relay; 3226 or 7222)3♦ - 3♥ (relay; 3226)3♠ - 3N (QP ask; 5-7 QPs)4♣ - 4♦ (second QP ask; 5 QPs)4♠ Note that over 3♥, South had the option of bidding 4♣...4♦..4♠ to show a natural slam try in ♠ (responder would bid RKC responses if accepting).

yunling Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 An off-topic auction :( 1♠-2♠-4♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 There are several different ways this auction could go in IMPrecision, which is why I've been somewhat hesitant to reply to this one. One possibility: 1♣ (16+) - 2nt (GF 6 clubs semi-balanced)3♦ (short clubs) - 4♣ (3226, 2QP excluding ♣KQ)4♠ Another: 1♣ (16+) - 1♦ (various)1♠ (4+, F1) - 1nt (GF relay)2♣ (♦ or bal) - 2♦ (relay)3♥ (5341) - sign off... Responder knows he has a terrible hand given opener's shape, and will sign off in his choice of 3nt or 4♠. Not clear what he will choose; 3nt needs one trick less and has the advantage of keeping the unknown hand as declarer so maybe would pick that.

DinDIP Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Modified SCAMP 1♣-3♣ . . . strong; 3-2-2-6 or 2-2-2-73♦-3♥ . . . relay; 3-2-2-64♦-4♥ . . . suit quality slam try; any min [5-6QP] or better than min [7-8QP] with <Hx in H, denies 9+QP4♠ . . . NF, teller accepts with better than min and 2+/top4 in S No perfect methods here: we don't have a way for teller to show a semi-solid C suit and better than min so are limited to looking for a S slam or one based on power. Nor can we find out if teller has QJx xx xx AKxxxx which would be a good slam. But our 4♦ slam try does allow us to make sure the S suit is strong enough to play for one likely loser if we reach slam yet stop in game if it's not.

Zelandakh Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 1♣ = 15-17 nat/bal or 18+ any... - 1♠ = GF with no 4 card major1NT = relay, usually 18+... - 2♦ = club one-suiter2♥ = relay... - 2NT = 3 spades, <3 hearts, 6-7 clubs is a given. Now South has options - but the safe way is probably to continue relays: 3♣ = relay... - 3♥ = 32263♠ = relay... - 3NT = min4♣ = relay... - 4♦ = 0-1 controls4♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
