If you had 14-16, you would have opened 1NT. If you have 16 or more, easy 2C rebid. <BR/><BR/>So now you have some trashy 13 or less hcp hand. Something like, S-xx H-KQxxx D-Axx C-Kxx. Here, like always, you have to tell the best lie. One option is to rebid 2H, one is to bid 1NT, one is to create a fourth diamond with 2D. This is hardly worse than standard 2/1 GF after 1H-1NT (where they can not pass). Nor is it too different from standard 2/1 with 4S and 5H and 2-2 in the minors and partner bids 1NT. Stuck? Well yes. Three strong diamonds, bid 2D, five strong hearts, bid 2H. Those are options one and two, I lean towards 2D if no clear choice.bboinquiryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03157979136216412961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13944783.post-1121963704916966492005-07-21T09:35:00.000-07:002005-07-21T09:35:00.000-07:00Typo: In the last paragraph before the green stuff you say that 1H-1S denies 4 spades. It does not, it denies 5 spades.<BR/><BR/>HanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13944783.post-1121963528439505612005-07-21T09:32:00.000-07:002005-07-21T09:32:00.000-07:00Please explain what opener does with 2-5-3-3 shape after the auction 1H-1S.<BR/><BR/>1NT shows 3 spades, 2C is strong and 2D shows 4 diamonds. Seems you're stuck!<BR/><BR/>HanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
