Scoring: IMP

1♠ - 2♦ - no - ?


Common enough is advancer's new suit forcing & 2♠ as a diamond raise. You may not like that, you may prefer 2♠ as "unassuming".

Let's say partner's style is normal so 2♦ = near opening, often 6-carder.
Anyway, what is your plan? (EW take no further part)

I make a take-out double :)

Ok, since I can't do that, 3♣.

Despite the singleton in partner's suit this hand is too good to pass vulnerable at IMPs. I bid 3♣, pass the rebid of 3♦ or 3NT and bid 3♠ over 3♥, because 3♥ may not be a suit. Could be a feature.

If it is, overcaller has no spade stop. The worst case scenario is that we end up in 4mi, which could be too high. However, I am willing to gamble on that in the search for the vulnerable game.

I make a negative double... Oh, I cannot double my partner?


3♣ for me ;)
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

3C is clear imo.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

If I bid 3♣ and partner bids 3♥ over that, does the meaning depend on whether we play ELC?
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
