Two-way club alternate structures for other bids

Hi Kungsten,

 

How do you continue with transfer openings ?

 

1♦ = 10-16 hp 4+♥

..1♥ = 3 card fit or no fit ?

 

When we played transfer openings we used something like this:

 

1D (4+ hearts, not 4333 or 4432, may have longer minor)

..1H = Forcing, showing one of the hands below:

a) A GF hand wishing to use relays

b) A negative-NT type of hand, looking for the right partscore. Should have 2-card support.

c) INV or mildly slammish with 4+ support and a singleton

d) 4+ support, mildly slammish and a void

e) A constructive raise with 3-card support, about 8-10 hcp

 

The other responses to 1D were:

1S = Natural forcing, if only 4 spades then INV

1N = Transfer to clubs. Usually 5+ clubs but could be down to 3 if INV. 0+ hcp

2C = 5+ diamonds. 0+ hcp

2D = Limit raise with 3 card support OR constructive raise with 4 card support

2H = Weak 3+ raise

2S = Weak

2NT = Limit or slam interest opposite the right shortness from partner. 4+ support

Higher = Weak/to play

 

In this system we played 10-14 openings, and prior to that we played 8-11 openings (and the the ranges above were adjusted a bit)

I like this, would tweak it to have:

2♣ = 13/14-16 hp 5+♥, 2♦ asks

2♦ = 9/10-13 hp 5+♥-4♠

2♥ = 9/10-13 hp 5+♥, ♠<4 (fantunes style)

 

 

Nice touch :)
