Scoring: IMP

In an uncontested auction, the bidding goes:

Partner opens 1♠. I bid 1N. Partner rebids 2♦. I rebid 2♥.


Post hand, we both agree that my rebid was poor. Partner suggests I bid 3♦ whilst I think my rebid should have been 3♥.

What should my rebid have been?

Also, if partner had rebid 2♠, should I have rebid 3♠ or 4♠?

1S-1NT (forcing)
2D-2S (not quite enough for invite, and 2d might have been a 3-card suit)
2N-3H (2NT shows opening NT strength, and by inference 4 diamonds, since he didn't open 1NT ---3H is accepting the invite, while checking for 3-5 fit).

Opener then proceeds to 3NT.

1 ♠ 1 NT
2 ♦ 3 ♦

If this hand is not strong enough to support partners second suit, which hand is?
(If you play a style where 2 ♦ can be based on a 3 card suit, partner will bid 3 Nt and I will be fine with that.)


1 ♠ 1 NT
2♠ 3 ♠ is enough for me. Partner did not promised extra strength.

Hi,

#1 2H showes a 6 carder, espesially if 2D promises a 4 card suit,
some may disagee, but at least with a doublton in spade,
they would not bid 2H.
2H also showes a rather weak hand.
#2 Without add. agreement, your best bid is 3D, showing support and
inv. values, you risk missing a 5-3 heart fit, but the risk is low.
#3 If you have discussed it, 3H showes 5 hearts and 4 diamonds with
inv. values, a fit jump.
Being limited, jumping around is only sensible, if you have discovered
a fit, and the fit is with partner last bid suit.
#4 If p bids 2S, bidding 3S is the best you can do, this is even than the case,
if 2S does not promise a 6 carder, but most play, that 2S in this seq. shows 6.

With kind regards
Marlowe

This, if I have to start the auction with 1♠. The alternative of 1NT works better for this particular hand and won't be too surprised if some start with 1♠ and rebid 2NT.

many of today's movies titles end up with the correct call after 2D

Whether you play forcing 1NT response has significant impact on your rebids. Do you or do you not?
