From his 4♦ bid he has at least 4♦s and at most 2♣s. So, the question is... What is the meaning of the 4♦ bid ? A) Want to play in ♦s, drop dead ? B) Want to play in ♣s, got help in ♦s if you want to play 6 ? C) Want to bug you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 It appears to me that the defaults in the {media} command are erroneously set.[hv=?lin=pn|baraka,~~M29921,~~M29919,~~M29920|st%7C%7Cmd%7C1SAH3D38JAC5679JQK%2CS349TH49KAD6C48TA%2CS8JKH256QD29TKC23%2C%7Crh%7C%7Cah%7CBoard%2011%7Csv%7Co%7Cmb%7C1C%7Can%7CMinor%20suit%20opening%20--%203%2B%20%21C%3B%2011-21%20HCP%3B%20%7Cmb%7C1H%7Can%7COne-level%20overcall%20--%205%2B%20%21H%3B%208-17%20HCP%3B%209-19%20total%20points%20%7Cmb%7C1N%7Can%7C3-%20%21S%3B%208-11%20HCP%3B%20likely%20stop%20in%20%21H%20%7Cmb%7C3C%7Can%7CMixed%20raise%20--%204%2B%20%21H%3B%207-9%20total%20points%3B%20forcing%20to%203H%20%7Cmb%7C4C%7Can%7C21-%20HCP%3B%20twice%20rebiddable%20%21C%3B%2017-22%20tota%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C4D%7Can%7C4%2B%20%21D%3B%203-%20%21S%3B%208-11%20HCP%3B%20likely%20stop%20in%20%21H%20%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C5D%7Can%7C4%2B%20%21D%3B%2021-%20HCP%3B%20twice%20rebiddable%20%21C%3B%2017-%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cpc%7CHJ%7Cpc%7CH3%7Cpc%7CHK%7Cpc%7CH2%7Cpc%7CS3%7Cpc%7CS8%7Cpc%7CS2%7Cpc%7CSA%7Cpc%7CDA%7Cpc%7CD6%7Cpc%7CD2%7Cpc%7CD7%7Cpc%7CD3%7Cpc%7CS4%7Cpc%7CDK%7Cpc%7CD5%7Cpc%7CC3%7Cpc%7CH7%7Cpc%7CCK%7Cpc%7CC8%7Cpc%7CCQ%7Cpc%7CC4%7Cpc%7CC2%7Cpc%7CD4%7Cpc%7CDQ%7Cpc%7CD8%7Cpc%7CST%7Cpc%7CD9%7Cpc%7CH8%7Cpc%7CC5%7Cpc%7CH4%7Cpc%7CHQ%7Cpc%7CSK%7Cpc%7CS5%7Cpc%7CC6%7Cpc%7CS9%7Cpc%7CH5%7Cpc%7CHT%7Cpc%7CDJ%7Cpc%7CHA%7Cpc%7CC7%7Cpc%7CCT%7Cpc%7CDT%7Cpc%7CS6%7Cpc%7CH6%7Cpc%7CS7%7Cpc%7CC9%7Cpc%7CH9%7Cpc%7CCA%7Cpc%7CSJ%7Cpc%7CSQ%7Cpc%7CCJ%7C]360|270[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 4♦ cannot be drop dead when it shows (per the given description) 8-11HCP and you could have up to 21HCP. Why do you specify that he has at most 2 clubs? (32)53 is probably still possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baraka Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 You're right... North could have 1 to 3 ♣s, but that does not explain the 4♦ bid ! Still a wierd bid ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 think 4C is too high. shows more than you have. could try 3D. but its going to be hard to stay out of game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'm surprised West made that overcall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lycier Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 After 3♣,I am willing to rebid 3♦ showing my 4-6 minors,this is a normal auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
