Cyberyeti Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 1: yes (by agreement for us specifically void, but singleton for many)2: usually to play I think if weak no trump is possibility for 1♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKok Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 For me both are to play, but I think splinter on the first hand is a more common agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas43 Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Could not see any point in having both as splinters? That being the case better to use the lower bid, as it still leaves room for 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 1♦ 3♥. Splinter but I can't remember the last time I bid a splinter, I hate using up all that bidding space. 1♦ 4♥. Kickback for diamonds :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickback for diamonds :) If you're going to kickback, why not inverted raise and then kickback later after you've exchanged more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much prefer opps didn't find their black suit fit if I held x, KQJxxxxx, xxxx, void with partner looking at a weak NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
