[Cyberyeti]

1. preemptive or inv depending on who I'm sitting opposite (as in how old school I think they are)
2. GF
3. not sure, I've played a 2♦ enquiry here for so long I've forgotten
4. inv
5. again not sure, have played a GF 2N here for too long

Edit: 5: what 3♠ is may depend what 1♦-2♠ is, if WJS then it should be forcing

[SteveMoe]

1) Old-fashioned courtesy raise - about 9-10 SP. Partner could be as big as 16-17.
2) GF
3) NF. To Force, bid 2♦ artificial. (see 3rd suit forcing).
4) Inv.
5) Wolff: 3♦ is NMF. 3♠ is GF Good suit.

[helene_t]

Plagiating Cyberyeti as I am lazy:

1. inv (yeah I am old scool )
2. GF
3. Forcing is standard but you can play it as weak with the good hands going through 2♦
4. inv
5. Probably forcing. You can play that there is no way to sign off in a partscore or you can play that all weak hands bid 3♣ (Woolf). You can of course also play these as weak and 3♣ as the forcing relay but that is not common.

[Tramticket]

1. Invitational
2. Game Force
3. Forcing for one round
4. Invitational
5. In my favourite partnership 2NT (19-20) is game forcing

[lycier]

1-
Here there are 3 options :
1)- 1-2-3 stop,so it is a preempt ,sign off.
2)- inv
3)- On some forum,it also is defined as forcing a round.

2-GF with 5+♥.

3-
Here there are 2 option :
1)- if rebid-2♦ is GF,rebid-2♥ is non-forcing.
2)- new suit is forcing.

4-
Here there are 2 option :
1)- inv
2)- preempt raise ♣,so it is sign off,not forcing.

5- it is a natural bid,not forcing,sign off.

3♦ non-forcing, 3♠ forcing. I really really would try to have an agreement here though. Without one I would assume 3♣ to be checkback. I would take 1♣-1M; 2NT-3♣♦ both as checkback when undiscussed for safety.

Of course, we can use our own pet systems. Mine:
"3) GF (quite obviously). If we would have less, we would have used Reverse Flannery the round before."

I think it would help the OP more give the meaning in common standard systems. And this is a sequence that standard systems deal with in different ways:

In some systems (e.g. Acol) this sequence is non forcing. In other systems (e.g. SA) this sequence is forcing for one round (after an opening of 1 of a suit, any new suit by responder is forcing).

Weak, Forcing 1 or GF depending on agreements. Forcing one unless agreed otherwise.

This was Invitational in standard, But now it is Game Forcing if playing XYZ (2 way checkback)

Everything except pass is Game Forcing unless specifically agreed otherwise.

For me :
1- If not play XYZ,not play 2-way checkback :
3♣= inv
But the sequences is not same with this,for example,it goes :
1♣ -1♦
1♠-3♣
3♣=GF with ♣ fit

2- If play XYZ and 2-way stayman :
It depends on the different agreements.
1)- If 2N over 1♠ is relay to 3♣,3♣ is a slam try in ♣ .
2)- If 2N over 1♠ is inv,3♣ would be sign off,preempt,non-forcing.

Excuse me for my poor English.
I don't understand what you said about 4♦.
Does it refer to 1♦-1♥-3♦-3♥-4♦? or 1♦-1♥-4♦?

[gwnn]

I meant the first one. I'm sorry, I could have been clearer, it's not about your English but about mine. Maybe I'm being a bit idiosyncratic with 4D=NF, I don't know. I think responder should be allowed to pass 4D (=unsuitable for 3NT or 4H, i.e. worst possible hand in context) because opener is quite narrowly limited.

[lycier]

Gwnn,np,np.
Yes,I agree rebid-4♦ after 3♥ is non-forcing because of narrowly limited and often without ♥ fit.

[WesleyC]

My experience is: (with my confidence in brackets)

1) Invitational. (100%)

2) Forcing. (100%)

3) Forcing. (100%)

4) Invitational. (100%)

5) 3D = Unclear. 3S = Forcing. Without agreements I wouldn't pass either.

5. We play that all GF go through 3♣ and these are to play.

I have no idea if that's REALLY old school or just our agreement to survive with some of the trash we respond with.
