- Sasha Cooper's bidding problem: KQ83 A965 QJ732 ---
- I was quite in range for my action I felt..... ;-)
- 2NT Forcing by Responder
- Nope. Our reasoning is that being able to show a slam try quickly is still important and if you want to play in NT in these spots then probably best to right side the likely Hx.
- 2NT Forcing by Responder
- 3rd suit = bal INV or bad GF 2NT = Any slam try Allows you to play in a superior 5-2M fit on an auction like 1♣-1♠ 2♣-2♦ 2♠ And define your ST quickly. Over 2NT our structure isn’t dissimilar to Swedish Jacoby (3C = min etc)
- Do you open this hand in 1st seat Love All at IMPs?
- As said above it is partnership style. I don’t think many/any would consider this a standard weak 2.
- For the Relay Nerds
- We also play (sometimes double) optional RKC after patterning out. So for us to pull 3N we need to have a hand a bit better than the accept of the optional. As to what the pulls meant. We simply played optional for our longest suit so: 4♣ = Bad Hand ...
- Choice of Games Cuebid vs. Slam Try Cuebid
- Playing standard I would assume expert standard is ST. My partner and I have discussed this (and a lot of competitive bidding theory). One thing we have adopted in a lot of spots is something we call higher two way checkback. Like most gadgets, it gives up on clubs. Essentially ...
- Are Gazilli jump-shifts non-alertable?
- I get this a lot. I have started "semi-alerting" as a result which feels like the wrong idea.
- Weekend of pain
- On hand 1 the problem with using 3♠ = Stop ask or raise are actually more apparent when partner doesn't have a stop. 3♠-4♣ 4♥ Is this scrambling for the best non NT game or a ST. There are several solutions to this. I believe Joe ...
- Gazilli Questions - Meaning of opener’s rebids of 3M and 3NT?
- Firstly I would recommend playing Gazilli the “other way round”. By which I mean: 2♣ = 6M or 16+ 2M = 5M-4+♣ This helps the weaker gazilli auctions. As to your questions a lot of it depends on how good your gazilli continuations are particularly regarding 6M hands. Stabbing in ...
- Meaning of 1NT rebid after a fourth hand double?
- It all depends on the partnership agreement. Both good 13-14/18-19 or ART are common in the fields I play in. However, in a PuP I would try and avoid bidding 1NT with 12-14 OR 18-19 simply because it might be misconstrued. I would pass with the former and bid ...
