- Do defensive beers count if diamonds are trumps?
- A reasonable (and simple) compromise is that diamonds as trumps count when the contract is game-or-higher or doubled or redoubled (or, not xor).
- Richard Lawson's bidding problem: K42 AQ643 K98 J2
- For methods, I think 1♥ - 2♦ as 5+ suit-oriented is good. I like 1♥ - 2♦ ? - 2NT = clubs - 3♣ = 3-card diamonds - 3♦ = 4-card diamonds You are more likely to pick diamonds with a 9-card fit. After 3♣, 3♦ is waiting while 3♥ ...
- Transfers over weak twos
- @Steve, I think it's reasonable to play 2N as clubs or invite. 2M 2N 3C ? - 3D = really, I just wanted to ask if you are good or bad - others natural. So responder gives up showing clubs AND diamonds over a weak 2M.
- Transfers over weak twos
- I don't see how this keeps the bidding low. While it is reasonable to play 2D 2M to play (particularly at pairs), forcing with a major starts at 3M-1? This also prevents the simple (and isn't this the most important sequence?) natural auction 2D - 2M; 3D/M, where ...
- Most Pervasive "Bridge Club Myths" re Bidding?
- Never thought about it, but I think this would be added to the laws!
- Most Pervasive "Bridge Club Myths" re Bidding?
- Shawn, I quite like the compromise of second/fourth best from non-honor spots (xXx, HxXx). Needs some thinking though.
- Most Pervasive "Bridge Club Myths" re Bidding?
- It's just about possible to play a switch so that 1m (1S) 2om shows 5+ hearts, and 2H is forcing with the other minor. (If 1C is short, then you can use 2C as the switch.) You can't get out in 2D when responder has a force with ...
- Paddy Murphy's bidding problem: J532 2 KQT532 74
- General, usually game forcing, strength. I don't think it promises 4S. What would you bid with 14HCP 2263?
- Peg Kaplan's bidding problem: 732 J87532 7 JT7
- Hmm, if partner has a balanced hand, with our d singleton, wouldn't that balanced hand typically be suitable for a NT overcall?
- Chris Gibson's bidding problem: AQ74 --- AQ7542 KT3
- Is there any other option than doubling?
