Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Are Reverses “Off” in a 2/1 auction?
- I play reverses at the 2-level (e.g. 1♦ - 2♣ - 2♠) as not promising extras, but at the 3-level (e.g. 1♥ - 2♦ - 3♣) promising extras.
- And the 1!C - 2!D Jump Shift
- 1♣ - 2♦: 5♠4♥ 4-9 1♣ - 2M: Weak
- Fit Showing Jumps or Weak Jump Shifts in Competition
- 1♣ (1♥) 2♠: Weak 1♣ (1♠) 3♥: Fit i.e. jumps at 2-level are weak, 3-level fit
- 2!c With an Unbalanced Hand
- One I've tried is: "If partner has only a King, can I make game?" If yes: open 2♣.
- Playing Weak NT. How to bid after 1m=1M with 4 card support.
- 4M4m32 15/poor 16: open 1M and pass 1N response 4M4m32 good 16/17 open 1m, jump raise 1M to 3M
- 2/1: Fast Arrival in NT?
- I've agreed this as 5♠4♦22 15-17
- XYZ players - what meaning do you give for those sequences
- Sorry, should have been clearer about the second. 2♦ is FSF/XYZ-like in these auctions (invitational with spades or FG no clear direction) this makes 3♠ nat. FG. This makes the first auction similar enough for me to comment, but not the second.
- XYZ players - what meaning do you give for those sequences
- 1) 4♠ FG 2) Not discussed, but 2♣ is nat and 2♦ is FSF so a bit more difficult to construct the relevant auction
- Mini-NT when?
- 1st NV: 9-11 3rd NV: 9-14 Else: 14-16
- T-Walsh: responding with a weak Flannery hand
- 1♠ - 1N - 2♥ 4-5 majors weak
