inquiry Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Over 2♥, did partner have a way to show a slam-try with both majors? Transfer to one major then bid the other major is forcing. Slam try would have to follow that. We use to play 3♥ major two suit game try and 3♠ as major two suit game force, but dropped that for the more productive use of those bids as fragment with three cards in other major.

Vampyr Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 If partner had hearts and a longer minor and slam interest, he would bid 2♠ over 2♥, to show that. My bid would be 2NT... Maybe this changes things; I don't really know. I imagine that most people who responded assumed that 2♠ here would deny hearts and show an invitational hand with four spades. Non-forcing.

steve2005 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Does he? Wouldn't he like to know immediately of the ♠K, so that he can then ask for the ♠Q? then he shouldn't have used exclusion KC if looking for side K♠, how bout just splintering (if playing that) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 then he shouldn't have used exclusion KC if looking for side K♠, how bout just splintering (if playing that) I'm pretty sure this is incorrect - it's obligatory to just blast into exclusion and hope for the best!

Fluffy Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I still don't get it, you have a way to show 4♥ and 5 minor?, and its different from what you do with 4♠ and 5 minor?, sounds like a big overkill to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I am willing to accept that everyone disagrees with mePerhaps everyone does, but the poll doesn't tell you that. You asked us what we'd do playing one set of agreements; you can't infer from that what we'd do with a different set of agreements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Partner asked a question I give the answer. I appear to have one key card I can't think of a reason to show a different number. Exclusion is not used for me in the first instance to exercise any judgement. It is for me to count up my key cards and trust that partner has exercised good judgement. I usually exercise judgement before bidding (any bid, even mechanic ones), but I agree that in this case not masterminding is the good judgement :) Also, any player whom I agree to play exclusion RKCB can certain exercise good judgement. I don't agree to play disaster-prone conventions with people who can't use them properly B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
