two over one

[JAQPM]

Playing 2 over 1 how does one handle the responses to 1Club with 5Major and 4Minor ten count after partner rebids 2 clubs

[mike777]

I expect I will start with the major and pass 2c often.

[Zelandakh]

Is the minor clubs or diamonds? If clubs then a bad 10 count might respond in the major and pass, while a good 10 count would respond in the major and then raise clubs. If the minor is diamonds you would respond in the major and usually pass 2♣. If the hand is too good to pass then methods come into it because many play a 2♦ rebid here as artificial. 2♦, 2NT and 3♣ would be the usual contenders for showing an invite with this shape.

Hi,

 

the problem shape is having a singleton in partners suit,

otherwise you have a fit, i.e. you can make an inv. raise.

 

If you have a single in partners suit, either pass, the best

bid, if your 10HCP are made up by Jacks and Queends - a reason

to downgrade, or bid 2S, if you have a good spade suit.

 

The alternative would be to sell the hand as bal., and bid 2NT,

an overbid, but sometimes you have to make a decision.

 

With kind regards

Marlowe

After 1♣-1M-2♣ I can only invite with 2nt or 3♣ because I use 2♦ as a GF relay.

I use NMF (inv+) after opener rebids their minor.

I would follow Marlowe's advice on whether your 10 HCPs is enough of an invite.
