BasilZh Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 QK510976AK10732 p - 1s - p - ? You're playing pretty standard 2/1 system with quite sound opening bids(min 12, if balanced) Was the decision close or automatic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 2C. What's the problem? Isn't 2NT with support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Let me throw my hat into the ring with a different bid... If not vul or at matchpoints.... 1NT (forcing)... If partner rebids 2SPADES over this, I will pass. BTW, my partners only rebid 2 SPADE with a minimum hand and 6 SPADES. With 6 SPADES and anything extra, they rebid a minor. Or over 2S, if I was feeling lucky, I might try 2NT/3C. This is a tough hand. By stopping in 2NT/3C/or 2S one thing is for sure... I will not miss a vulnerable game (see below...because I will not be vulnerable).At imps, vulnerable, however, I will bid 2CLUBS. Since I don't want to risk missing a close game under those conditions. At all other events and vul, 1NT. BTW, 3CLUBS as invitiational is not an option for me, as I don't like the use of 3C for that bid. As for 2NT with this hand? No way. First, most 2/1 people use that to show support. And if you don't, (for instance if you are playing BBO Advanced), 2NT shows a balanced hand. Only in wonderland can this hand be called balanced.

luis Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 2c, automatic any scoring or vulnerability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Funny math... so far I see people advocating for something other than 2NT or 3C (consensus... 2C, although I would bid this hand 1NT most of the time, see my earlier reply). Despite this, the vote now stands at 2 for 2NT (YUCK) and 2 for "something other". Seems it should 3 for something other... :-) And the two votes for 2NT amaze me as a 2/1 reply with this hand. Really, 2NT??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, 2NT??? I assumed that the first option was really for 2C. On my screen it shows as an "n" with a tilde (~) on top. It seemed more likely that that was a mistype for 2C, than for 2NT (since 2NT makes no sense on the hand). If I am wrong, I would like to change my vote!

keylime Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Someone hand me a 2C bidding card....bidding 2NT is absolutely out of the question here. 2/1 is a shape showing system so show it! Since my partner has opened 1S here, I treat my Q as being doubleton, thus the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
