broze Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 1) [hv=d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1c1h1nd2cp3c3d]133|100[/hv] 2) [hv=d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1c1h1nd2cpp3d]133|100[/hv] How forcing is 3♦ in these auctions, if at all, in standard bidding? Does the fact that W had 2C available as a transfer to diamonds over the 1NT bid change anything? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Nf. Even if rho is prone to psyching. You can always bid clubs if you want to force 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jallerton Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 1. What is E/W's style of 1-level overcalls?2. What did double of 1NT mean?3. Is West likely to have a hand where he would want to make a forcing 3♦ bid?4. If 3♦ is NF, that doesn't preclude East from raising with a suitable hand.

However usually it will be suitable for a lead director unless he has extra shape or pre-emption possibilities.2. 'Values', happy to play 1Nx3. Not very often I should think.4. This is funny. Of course I made a truly terrible pass as responder on the hand that inspired this post. However it later transpired that p had tried to make a forcing bid and just assumed that I had lost my mind when I passed (even more than I did). I am certainly not trying to shift any blame onto p for this particular mishap. :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
