wanoff Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Acol weak nt, change of suit by responder is F1Opener would usually repeat a 6cd suit than raise responders first suit with 3. [hv=pc=n&s=s75hk72daqjt97c42&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=1dp1sp2dp2hp]133|200[/hv] 1. What now ?2. Should South open ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 1. 3♦. TBH I can't even see the rationale for anything else. Partner can continue with three of either major (forcing) if he wants. 2. Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmnka447 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 1. 3 ♦ - shows a minimum hand with ♦ and no fit for partner's suits. Your 1 loser almost solid ♦ suit will be good at a ♦ contract, but may not be worth much to partner in a major contract. Conversely, honors in partner's suits can be useful to you in a ♦ contract. Raising partner's 2nd suit is rarely right with 3 card support. 2. A weak 2 ♦ if available, otherwise 1 ♦. If the ♦ suit were a major, I'd always open 1 of the major with a guarded K outside.

MrAce Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 1-3♦ 2-It is a matter of style. "Should" or "Should not" are too strong, without knowing your style and other bids available imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
