Maybe the rule is from Maurice Gerber, a member of your personal bridge group which happens to play every tuesday afternoon?

For the Gerber rules "we" know, please look at the ACBL side, or in the SAYC booklet- or simply anywhere.
4 Club shows surprisingly some number of clubs.
Kind Regards

At the table I Xed, thinking we played it as takeout, not pen. 500 wasn't great against the par of 720. P had:

♠ Qxx
♥ Kxxx
♦ Ax
♣ AQJx

Club K was onside doubleton.

Be sure to agree T/O doubles in the future. Clearly superior imo. :)

Try 4C Gerber

Sigh.....

:) :rolleyes: ROFL..Gerber is so hated here, but honestly in this sequence it has to be HATED. 4♣ is totally needed as natural !!

Rule #1 although I should post this in B/I. If 4♣ can be natural it is not Gerber.

Rule #2 for most of us. If 4♣ can be some sort of splinter it is not Gerber.

I expect the rest of you to add a couple more rules for Gerber.

Rule #3 if we are supposed to play sensible bridge then 4♣ is never Gerber.

isn't 4♣ a fit-showing non-jump?

My thoughts exactly, a balanced hand with 5+♣ :P
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

Over 4♣ parter bids 5♣. Back to you.

Correction:

Over 4♣, partner will bid 4♦, back to you....
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
So many experts, not enough X cards.
