Scoring: MP

Partner (north) opens 1D, and rebids 2D after your 1S. What next?

pass, pd has 4 hearts. Opp might balance, then u can profit from it.

[Flame]

Its not a misfit atleast a minimum fit but could be alot more, because its mp i would pass and hope to bid 3c next, on imps i would bid 3c now.

[arrows]

I would like to be able to bid 2♣ first, if it's not a game forcing.

I don't like 2/1 GF.

[luke warm]

i bid 2c first also

[pclayton]

2♣ and 3♣ over 2♦. Non forcing in my methods.

If pard throws a call that creates a force like 2♥ or 2N; I hope I can catch a fit.

[Fluffy]

I would had bid 1NT previous round.

[PriorKnowledge]

I would have bid 2C initially, even if playing 2/1. over 2D will bid 2S, then 3S.

This hand is a powerhouse

[scoob]

would have bid 2♣ directly, but since i pussed out with 1♠ now i bid 4♣

[PriorKnowledge]

can't bid 4C... it would be a splinter in support of diam... 3C is good enough

[mr1303]

I intend to bid clubs at my first turn, and bid 2S at my second turn after 2D. If that doesn't get a spade raise, I intend to bid clubs and more clubs, and I'm not going to play this in 3NT.

partner opens 1D and u bid 1N with 7-5? are you serious????

I am always serious , ok, I am sometimes serious is more accurate , but this is one o this times, 2♣ promises more strenght and leads to a high contract, and I just wanna play 3♣, wich is what I am gonna rebid if partner or opponents aren´t balanced (wich I kinda expect).

It's an easy 2C no matter what system you play. I rate 1NT as very conservative, and I don't think it not serious:P I am strongly against 1S and 1S shouldn't really work for this hand.

[mike777]

Zhu and Jlall say it eloquently

[cf_John0]

Pass to avoid hi-level misfit!

[mila85]

I must bid spades first because after
1d-2c
2h-2s is 4th suit and I am unable to show my 5 spades.

I think that 3c should be forcing.

What about 2nt now? It's game invit in my system.

[LH2650]

I voted for an invitational action, but then ran a simulation and concluded that some game is more than 70% to make. 4 spades is the most likely (55%), followed by 5 clubs (50%), 3 notrump (30%), and 5 diamonds (3%). (Some hands make more than 1 game.) Since there are multiple possibilities that must be considered, it seems necessary to attempt to describe your hand to partner, starting with 2 clubs, and let him make the final decision.

If you start with 1 spade, and hear a 2 diamond rebid, you are now less than 50% to make game, so some bailout might be appropriate.

Hmmmm..

Any system that forces you to respond 1♠ with this hand must be seriously flawed. The problem with 2♣ followed by 2♠ is not that 2♠ is "fourth suit" forcing, but that is shows a much better hand (reverse). For me, 2♣ and if partner rebids 2♦ I then bid 3♣. Even if partner bids 2♥ over 2♣ I rebid 3♣.
