barmar Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 The problem with the EBU regulation is that it ignores the converse. Just as "showing unusual interest" may pass UI, so may "showing unusual lack of interest". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pran Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Auction goes 1N(dealer, 12-14 announced)-X(pens)-2♥ alerted, the 4th player asks what 2♥ was (both majors) then passes. What is suggested to the doubler ? On his actual hand (void, 109x, AKQxxx, AJ10x) I think 3♦ is clear enough, but in a more marginal case what do you think is suggested about partner's hand by the question ?An alert is a suggestion tnat opponents should ask about the auction and a question following an alert never suggests anything, it is simply an acceptance of the suggestion that a question is recommened. So more specific: Nothing is suggested to the doubler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
