chasetb Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Starting with a 3rd seat opener, I think my DD bidding would go:1♣ - 2♥ [Reverse Flannery, 5+ Spades, 4+ Hearts, <10 HCP]2NT [Ask] - 3♠ [6-4]4♣ - 4♥4NT - 5♦6♣ [2nd round ctrl?] - 7♠ 6♣ can't be 'to play' because Opener would have bid 3♦ or 4♣ rather than 2NT, so partner has interest in a Major.

Cyberyeti Posted November 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 So basically a dummy reversal? ♠A, ♣A, ♣ruff, ♠K, ♣ ruffed high, ♥K, ♠J, ♣ ruff, ♥A, ♥ ruff, ♦A, ♣, ♣. This works although I daresay only a low proportion of real intermediate players would find it due to the timing. Certainly from the comments I saw in this thread it sounded like many wanted to play for 3 ruffs, which has some issues. I still hesitate to call this cold in I/A. Honestly if an opponent played this against me on BBO, I would mark them as being in the top 10% of players I typically see. For Mike's opponents, it is probably routine. When this is routine in your circle, perhaps you should acknowledge that the level of play in Norfolk is not so bad as you sometimes suggest! :P I don't think it's really a dummy reversal or that omplicated, it's simply establishing dummy's long suit by ruffing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
