iandayre Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 4H should deny any A or K in the hand. 3H is the generic raise, forcing. Note I said "should" I will be interested to see what GIB actually held. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 GIB did correctly respond to two rounds of RKC.[hv=nn=GIB%20N&n=ST962HK762D93CJ74]100|100[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgi Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Fixed explanation in next version. -- 3+ M; 4- HCP Will check about why this hand didn't raise. 3M promises 5+ TP , so this hand qualifies in theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 If 3M is 3+M; 5+TP, then 4M should be 3+M; 4-TP. The two explanations should show a clear distinction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Gib don't play positive/negative respond,however this approach belongs to this category for what you said.4M should be alerted as "3+M,4-hcp,denies any Ace"3M should be alerted as "3+M,4+hcp,promises Ace or K in some suit,please cuebid".OK?

You are too strong for 4M, but lack the A/K needed for 3M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgi Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 At the moment for GIB 2♦ is with semi-unknown strength. Max is unknown if hand is unbalanced and the longest suit is weak. Bal hand would go through 2NT which is 8+ HCP, but if you have weak by quality one suiter hand, i.e. QxQJxQxxxxxxx you would bid 2♦ and then could also give positive over 2♥ i.e. although having only Queen of trumps. So 3M could hold variety of positives which responder wished to show on second round. Or even singleton if hand is xxxQJxxJxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
