Scoring: IMP

2♣-2♦,
?


Playing 2/1, 2 diamonds is strictly waiting. Do you bid your systematic NT bid (whether upgrading this hand or not), or do you rebid 3 clubs?

If you rebid 3 clubs, partner bids 3N (basically denying a 5 card suit or a super-fit for clubs). Are you worth another go?

Tough one. Give partner Qx of clubs, and either A of spades or K of diamonds, you want to be in slam. However, 4NT may be too high if partner has nothing.

I take the low road and pass after bidding 3♣ and partner bids 3NT.

i guess if p has to have a 5 bagger to bid it, i call some # of NTs first.

i'd much rather have 4 card calls available, in which case this is an easy 3♣ bid.

If partner has Qx of clubs and an ace he should not bid 3N over 3C lol. If partner just has the DK and Qx of clubs slam is not a great proposition.

3C.

If partner bids 3NT I pass.

In view of the king of spades, 3NT may be
better.

I rebid 2NT and would not consider 3♣.

When partner bids 3NT over my (non-existing) 3♣ is pass.

3♣. I eagerly await any conceivable reason to bid notrump instead of my clubs when I can so easily bid notrump next round.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

3♣, planning to rebid 3NT if possible.
I'm passing 3NT from partner.
Kind regards,

If I rebid NT that will be 3NT as my hand should be worth about 25 pts.

3N for me... less likely to get to a club slam perhaps....more likely to survive a ♠ lead against 3NT.
