monikrazy Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Playing 2/1 game force, what are some recommended followups for the following auctions: 1N (3C) ??1N (3D) ?? Assume 1N is a normal 15-17. My focus is tweaking my system for matchpoint events, but I'm welcome to recommendations for all forms of scoring. It's not clear to me whether certain bids should be forcing, invitational and/or transfers. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Over 1NT-(3♣), there is a pretty obvious scheme if you are willing to playing slightly less than natural: DBL Takeout3♦ Hearts3♥ Spades3♠ Diamonds3NT To play4♣ Both Majors4♦ Hearts4♥ Spades You can play 3♦/♥ as (A) "Invitational+" or (B) "Could be to play". The advantage of Method A is that opener, with a max and no fit, can bid 3NT instead of completing the transfer. The advantage of Method B is that you can play 3M. 1NT-(3♦) is a lot tougher. I would tend to play DBL as takeout and 3M as natural and forcing, but if you like you can also play DBL Hearts3♥ Spades3♠ Stayman / Stopper Ask 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 My recommendation? Spend your brain cells elsewhere...have decent meta-agreements about interference so you have some clue what you're doing, but unless you are not just a pro player but a pro player with permanent partner I can't see how a rather obscure sequence like this that comes up maybe one a year is worth having system for.

fromageGB Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 ...I can't see how a rather obscure sequence like this that comes up maybe one a year is worth having system for.Maybe they don't overcall much where you play. Certainly happens to me. A sensible question, and I like mgoetze's suggestion. I have no better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 One simple option over 3c is:x=staymanrest is system on so say:3d and 3h=tfr3s=mss and other minor suited hand types.4c=gerber4d and 4h=texas4s=quant with minors.4nt=quant often 4333. easy to remember as system is basically on.-- over 3d then:x=negative/value showing generally gf.new suit forcing.
