mgoetze Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Pretty nice hand. Given the awful stuff I open this is still only an invite to me but if your opening standards are high I could see upgrading this to a force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicklont Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I would bid 3♦, not forcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I am inclined just to blast 5♦. Partner could have three aces but we also need the ♣K and quite possibly the ♣Q for slam. 3NT could be right but if p doesn't have ♦A we probably need two heart stoppers.

Jinksy Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Lack of aces holds me back from a GF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael000 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Bid 3♦ Your initial response of 1D showed less than 16HCP. A rebid of 3♦ promises long strong diamonds giving south the option of passing if very weak, 3NT 5♦ or slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 3D. I guess this means, I go with the invite. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Excellent black suit fillers make me disregard 3NT. So 5♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Bid 3♦ Your initial response of 1D showed less than 16HCP. This is not the way the vast majority of players, including experts, play. Even those who play strong jump shifts (and many do not) have more detailed requirements for the jump shift than merely hcp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
