Cthulhu D Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 A 1D overcall is mental. I play X = 15+ semi balanced here so I can freely double, which is nice. Hurray for vicariously experienced system wins. Playing standard methods, I think you have to start with X and then ask for a stop with the cue over partners rebid - a 2H or higher bid from advancer should either have the values or the shape to make game.

ggwhiz Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Playing standard methods, I think you have to start with X and then ask for a stop with the cue over partners rebid I thought that in standard methods a cue agrees partners response as trumps with extras not asking for a stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I thought that in standard methods a cue agrees partners response as trumps with extras not asking for a stopI thought in std methods a cue suggests extra strength for the takeout double and only 3-card support for advancer's suit..unless Doubler follows after the cue with his own long suit. Certainly bidding NT with a stop is an option for advancer...even though the cue isn't exclusively asking for one. That way, the old-fashioned method of bidding more of partner's suit if we absolutely agree his suit seems to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackojack Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 [hv=pc=n&s=sj8hkj86daj85c982&n=sakqhat3dqt62cj54]133|200[/hv] 1♣-dbl-pass-2♥pass -? As North you decided you could not bear the thought of being banished if you overcalled 1NT (ggwhiz) so you doubled for take-out and partner responded 2♥ showing precisely? 4 cards and 8-10 points. So do I hear pass from North bottling out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I hear pass from North bottling out?I hope so. Partner advanced what she thought was a takeout double of 1♣. This hand is just about as bad as it can be in support of Hearts in context.
