you opened 1C, and partner response 1s, what's your plan now ?

Depends on system. If playing Strefa/Polish C, you have an easy 2N rebid.

Playing standard or 2/1 I bid 3NT to show a solid C suit and some goodies outside.

[Guest Jlall]

i would bid 3N. Not great but prefer it to 2N or 3C.

[pclayton]

I wouldn't argue with 2♦ or 3N.

[ochinko]

How about 3C? As much as I like to land on 3NT, I'd prefer it to be played from partner's hand, even though it would be the weaker one in this case.

[whereagles]

I prefer 3C, but wouldn't argue with 3NT.

[Free]

3NT: max, 6+♣, less than 3 ♠s.

[Flame]

I would just bid the natural 3c, yes this is max for the bid, i have good points, but i also have a single in partners suit, i think any other bid is much worse.

[flytoox]

3N. bid what i can make.

[helene_t]

Why should 3NT be in partner's hand? I bid 3NT and protect ♥K.

[jillybean]

3NT: max, 6+♣, less than 3 ♠s.

Hi,

are you saying 3nt here promises 6+♣ ?

 

thx :P

most play 3nt to show a long minor suit, with no such suit and 18-19 hcp you bid 2nt. I think its usually show 7 can suit and weaker hand, like 15 hcp, but this can be good here (i picked 3c but maybe 3nt is better).

[ochinko]

Why should 3NT be in partner's hand? I bid 3NT and protect ♥K.

I believe that opps are more likely to have a fit in spades rather than in hearts, so my partner's high card(s) in spades need more protection than my HK.

 

We could not even have a spade trick, and be able to make 3NT only because the lead is much less likely to be a spade if partner is the declarer. Would you lead a spade if you are East knowing that your lead could provide the vital 9th trick?

[shanbari]

i should put 2/1 system in m post,

we play 3c rebid as invitational, and 3nt is not defined in our cc.

 

i don't like 3nt here, as 3nt does a preempty job on both opps and my partner.

it probably works better in MP instead of IMP, or not ?

 

 

i prefer 2d, lying the diamond length, however, it delivers the club length and strength, much better than 2nt, plus the bidding level is low.

if partner raised diamond directly, i could always pull back to 3nt, showing stop.

-------- 1C

1S 2N

3D* 3N

4S

 

we stopped in 4S.

 

but i like the following sequence, (reasonable or not ?)

------- 1C

1S 2D

3C* 3D 3C here is game forcing, otherwise, 2nt relay showing weak.

3H 4C

4S 6C

I think after 3N, north should pull to 4C. This is a slam try. After that, I am sure you will find 6C at least.

[mike777]

FLY said it all well.

[Guest Jlall]

clear slam try over a 3N rebid with that hand. Equally clear slam try after a 3C rebid.

[han]

Does anybody have an agreement about the auction 1C-1S-3NT-4H? Many people play that a new suit at the four level is a cuebid for the last bid suit (here clearly clubs) but perhas this should be an example to this rule.

[jdulmage]

I would bid 4♣ over his 1♠, it's doubtful that I want to play in 3NT, and if he has a solid spade stack, he can bid 4♠ still. Once he sees my bid of 4♣, he will be more enclined to bid 4♥ over that to show first round control, that's all we need to make 6♣

[the hog]

Your partner may well have a fit after he bids 4S and this dummy tracks. (Fit showing jump, or perhaps fit inducing jump?).

 

In a well oiled partnership a 4C bid here usually shows 4 card support and solid Cs.

 

 

" Once he sees my bid of C, he will be more enclined to bid H over that to show first round control, that's all we need to make 6C "

 

Furthermore if you can make 6C with

Kxxx

Axx

Qxx

Jxx

 

opposite

Kxx

AJx

AKQxxx

 

Then you are a better man than I am Gunga Din.

3NT: max, 6+♣, less than 3 ♠s.

Hi,

are you saying 3nt here promises 6+♣ ?

 

thx :)

I hope you can still read :P YES

And no support in ♠, otherwise 3♣ would be my bid...
