lycier Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 After 3♣, I can't rebid 3♥, 3♥ says 6+♥,22-24TPs, so no way to rebid correctly on Gib CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 2♥ bid was a mistake - you should bid 2nt instead. Since you didn't bid 2nt, you must have an unbalanced hand, thus the reason 3♥ shows 6 hearts and thus the reason GIB thought 3nt wasn't a sensible final contract.

Stephen Tu Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 2nt is a better rebid than 2♥, but there are still huge flaws in GIB's subsequent bidding definitions that ought to be addressed, in case South had a more typical 2623/2722 sort of construction for 2H followed by 3nt. - IMO 2Q + 1J is too strong for a cheaper minor 2nd negative, max should be maybe like 1Q + 1J. K or 2Q enough to bid like 2nt.- 3nt by opener shouldn't be 25-32hcp after the second negative. You don't need that much to make game! Surely a hand like Ax AKQxxxx Kx Ax or similar bids this way. Range should be more like 19-24 hcp, that way it doesn't feel compelled to try for slam with 4c. And 5-7 hearts? - in general 4nt after bidding 3nt to play if partner suggests a minor still ought to be still to play, not blackwood IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 - in general 4nt after bidding 3nt to play if partner suggests a minor still ought to be still to play, not blackwood IMOBlackwood is ridiculous. North did a double negative. I'll give you three guesses how many KC's it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandayre Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Agree that 2NT better than 2H, and that N may be too strong for a double negative. But neither is seriously off the mark. The same cannot be said of GIB's failure to pass 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
