Cyberyeti Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Ops were playing a big NT type system so 1N opener of whatever strength was not in the frame, 1♠ was 4+ cards, 2♣ was 9+ points ostensibly natural, when I asked about the auction, I was told that this was "basically the same as the Acol auction". [hv=pc=n&w=sak962hq9dk72cq94&e=sjt3hk872dqj8ckj3&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1sp2c(9%2B%20)p3cp3nppp]266|200[/hv] The auction went as above with some decidedly odd bids included (I'd never have found 3♣/3N, he deserved to catch A98xx, QJx, x, AQxx where 4♠ is good and 3N no play) Then to compound this he drops the ♠ Qx offside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balanced against this, it could mean that we're playing a Moyisan at the 4 level with no ruffing values in dummy or, worse yet, wrong side 3NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no idea if 3♠ is forcing for them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
