- Liam Milne's bidding problem: 4 AQ7 AJ87632 AQ
- 2NT: six+ diamonds, three hearts, invitational+.
- How Not To Fill Out a Convention Card Part 1
- When asked about the meaning of 3NT, partner should say ‘undiscussed’ if that is the truth, not what they think it means and especially not gamble a most unusual meaning like ‘25–27’. Likewise, opening an undiscussed 3NT is maybe not a good thing; however, Gambling is probably the most ...
- Dave Robinson's bidding problem: J96 KQ KQT5 K842
- This must be purely a matter of system – which was not stated. I play 1♦ as ‘usually five+’ and 1NT at these colors as 15–17 (or a good 14, which this is not), so that leaves 1♣.
- Lars Allard's bidding problem: KT4 T87542 T2 JT
- A Weak Jump Shift is usually not a really good suit and partner must learn not to automatically lead their Ax or Kx.
- Jim Priebe's bidding problem: 2 T974 A3 KQJT93
- Since we forced to game with 3♠, we set up a forcing pass situation. Partner could have passed if unsure, but didn't. Hence, I pass.
- Another 2N-bid
- In other words: a voluntary 2NT – directly over opponent's bid – is Good-Bad (Lebensohl-clone), barring a few clear exceptions. An involuntary 2NT, in a forced situation after partner doubled for take-out, and barring a penalty pass, is Scrambling. That is probably the same as what Michael meant.
- Gazzilli Question
- Like others, I play 2♥ as game-forcing with three or four hearts (five hearts bids 3♥). Any up to about 14 HCP bids 2♠. Using 2♥ for all but exactly this hand is fine if you happen to have this hand, but otherwise ineffective.
- Donald Lurie's bidding problem: 76 KT85 QT8652 9
- Even in non-forcing Stayman – which I play over our 9–12 1NT – 2♣ and then 3♦ would be invitational. The only weak diamond bid is an immediate 3♦, which could also work preemptively but would miss a possible heart fit.
- Am I overthinking ? Opening lead choice.
- You have a fair chance to set up the hearts and cash them if either: (1) declaring side has just ace doubleton, or (2) partner has four hearts. Neither is unlikely. I would lead a heart, but the question poster raises is a good one. Modern analysis of various kinds ...
- Am I overthinking ? Opening lead choice.
- Often dummy actually does put their hand down before the lead – but with a screen between leader and dummy.
