mr1303 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I thought it was the other way around, with 1NT 2H 2S 3H being 5-4 or 5-5 GF, and 1NT 2D 2H 3S being 4-5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 In the book version, you transfer to the 5-card suit and bid 3 in the 4-card suit. Dunno about the revised version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there no way to distinguish 5♠4♥ from 5♠5♥ then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 1NT 2D2H 3S Shows 5S and 4H gf That seems the way to show 4♠ and 5♥... I don't think this is right. 1N - 2♣ - 2♦ - 2♥ shows 4 - 5♥'s and possibly 4♠'s and is invitational. 1N - 2♦ - 2♥ - 2♠ shows 4 ♥'s and equal or longer spades and is invitational. 1N - 2♥ - 2♠ - 3♥ shows 5+ ♠'s and 4+ ♥'s and is GF. Only a rebid of the minor promises a 5+ - 5+. 1N - 2♦ - 2♥ - 3♠ shows 5+ ♥ and 4♠'s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 In the version of resivised keri given by Ron you transfer to the 5 card first then bid your 4 card at the 3 level. Maybe there have been a change since Ron is given a different answer here. This is what you do with GF. With invite 5+4+ if i understand right, you bid 1nt-2d-2h-2s with 5♠4/5♥ while with 5♥4♠ you should use 1nt-2c-2d-2h. (this isnt writen there but this is how i iterpreted it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microcap Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 pclayton is right I believe. Page 41 of the original book version. It is not clear to me what to do with a g/f 5-5 in the majors other than bid this way and rebid hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 The book version has changed. Ron (Klinger) and Bruce Neill have revised it. 5/5 shapes are shown by1N 2H2S 4HThis is the only sequence that is not an autosplinter.
