broze Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 [hv=d=s&v=0&b=11&a=1c3hdp]133|100| Just trying to gauge what is standard, and to think about what is best in this spot, assuming that pard has not necessarily promised 4♠ - I think that is pretty standard. So some questions: 1) Is p's double game forcing (unless opener passes of course)? If not...2) Is 3♠ forcing now? If so how high?3) Would you ever rebid 4♠ as opener?4) What is a 4NT rebid by opener? 18-19 bal? I appreciate that some of this will be down to partnership agreement and I think I know what some of the answers should be, but interested to hear other's opinions.

Strain before level. I personally dislike being forced to choose between defending 3♥ undoubled or playing in game or higher. 3. Yes. Responder has either spades, or a plan for what to do when I rebid spades. I would hope one doesn't make a neg double of 3♥ here if spades by partner will checkmate you.4. I would imagine it would show something like 10 running NT tricks. Really unusual and mostly unnecessary jumps should show something fairly specific, in my opinion. I'm sure there are lots of other perfectly reasonable answers to those good questions, but these are what I would assume with a good partner and no other specific agreements to the contrary.
