dickiegera Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Partner opens a weak 2. What is the better way to play a new suit forcing or not forcing and why? Is there a difference if opening bid is 2♦ or 2♥ or 2♠.And what about a 3 level pre empt? Opinions please. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tu Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 It probably depends on your style of weak 2. If you are a "classic" weak 2 bidder with mostly good 6 cd suits, it's rare that you'd want to improve the partial by bidding a new suit NF, so forcing is probably better as it lets you find a fit in the other major and bail in 3 of the weak 2 if no fit is found. You sometimes want to search for games in your own major, basically. OTOH if you are a hyper-aggressive style and opening a lot of 5 cd suits, there is more merit in NF responses as partner will more often have a better suit than yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
