Precision 1C-1D-1S....how to cont.

[Schultz112]

Any helpful ideas?

 

In our Precision style

1♣ - 1♦

1♠: Forcing w/4+♠

 

Now:

1N= second neg. (0-5). How to cont.?

2♣=0-2♠, denies 5♥ (6-8). How to cont.?

2♦=Exactly 3♠ (6-8). How to cont.?

2♥=5♥, denies 3♠ (6-8). How to cont.?

3♣/♦/♥=6-crd, denies 3♠ (6-8). Better suggestions?

So 1S is not limited (still 16-37)? Can it have a longer minor no matter the strength? I used to play 1♠ as 16--19 with 4+ spades and then we used the following cont:

 

Pass = Bad hand

1NT = Relay, does not promise extras

2CDH = Natural, about 5--7

2S = 4 card support, about 3--7

Higher = 4 spades, max and some shape

 

1C--1D; 1S--1NT;

2C = 5+ spades

2D = 4 spades, 5+ diamonds

2H = 4 spades, 5+ hearts

2S = 4 spades, 5+ clubs

2NT+ = We used this for shapely hands. In your case if 1S is unlimited you could make 2C forcing (Gazzilli like) and perhaps 2NT+ could be hands with extras and 5+ minor?

 

1C--1D; 1S--1NT; 2C---

2D = Relay, promises some extras

...2H = 4+ hearts, NF

...2S = 6+ spades, NF

...2N = Natural

...3CD = Natural

...3H = 4+ hearts, GF

...2S = 6+ spades, GF

2H = Natural, weak

2S = Preference, weak

2N = Natural, some extras

3S = INV with 3 spades

Lots of old threads on this. Here's one where I was working on this. It probably has some wrong ideas of mine but I also quoted from some book on the subject. Good luck

In Mavarako, 1H/1S over 1D allow partner to pass with 0-3HCP. Over 1H, 1S is flip flop (forcing nt) and 1NT is 5 Spades. (With 4-4, opener bids 1S over 1D. The forcing Spade/forcing NT suggest no fit and some points 3-6. New suits are not forcing. (Except in the case of Mavarako 2D shows a positive response). In Mvarako over 1C/1D, 2D is a forcing trigger 20+HCP. A semi-positive response is 7-10HCP. I can post the Mavarako structure if you wish.
