Nice to see something in these forum that doesn´t have ZAR somewhere.
Oh no! now it does! :-(
5
♦ should show
♦.
Probably Misho has already agreed that 5
♣ is own suit while 4NT asks for the minor
. I didn´t and I am unable to show my 8-card suit in
♣ when I get it on this sequence.
Hi Gonzalo!
Actually no. We play with Ben like Ghestem, but include Hi-Lo 2 suiter in 1NT raptor. Our 2
♠ show exactly
♥-
♦ 2 suiter and 4NT will be slam try with
♥ support, while 5
♣ will be slam try with
♦ support. 5
♥/5
♦ are competitive. DBL is still under discussion, but is clear not penalty and I suppose we will use it as own suit (like we use RDBL if our 2
♠ was doubled)
or/and bid your better suit p.
Hi Wayne!
I am very happy because you raise this discussion. Can we begin another thread, where we will discuss several very interesting imo continuations after 2 suited bid by partner? There are several different situations and their combinations:
2 suits known and same (majors or minors)(1
♦-2
♦, 1M-2NT, 2 suited dbl...)
2 suits known and not same (M-m) - (1m-2NT, 2 suited dbl...)
1 suit known, 1 unknown (1NT raptor, 1
♠-2
♠ Michaels...)
For all above situations need to determine 2NT(3,4) and dbl/rdbl if they are available too. Do you like same discussion friend? I think will be helpful for all us, becuase nebulous continuations here by bidding theory, at least what I know.
About your question, depend you asking about partnership agreement(1) or playing with random partner(2). I will answer about 2.
Because 2NT bid is normally use as "show me your minor" I will suppose my p will take my 4NT similar way (yes Gonzalo
). He will probably take my 5
♣/5
♦ as natural, so I will bid in examle
♦.
