nullve Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 That a hand with 5134 shape would pass 2♠ but even as much as invite over 2♥, makes no sense to me. 2♠ doesn't show a weak raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKok Posted March 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 You're right, my mistake. Partner will bid on over 2♠ (though that was not the auction at the table, so now I'm guessing). 3♦ seems right. To clarify, the auction is then (ignoring opps) 1♠-1NT; 2♣-2♠; 3♦.

I'm bidding 3♠ now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKok Posted March 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 A long time ago I bid 1♠-1NT; 2♦ with a 5=0=4=4 and my partner told that rebidding 2♣ is standard. I honestly have no idea which is better - it is difficult to anticipate the auction that early. Perhaps responder has long clubs and cannot show them over 1♠-1NT; 2♦.

helene_t Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 4♠ now. 3♥ if partner had bid 2NT instead of 3nt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
