No mater who is the deler All rest player have no opening possible hand.(ok If someboby disagree with this lets tell that deler is N)

North have 24HCP with 5 H and 5 D, but south have only 2 H 0HCP
We have no good mans! S is out of question,NT we hane Only 1s H is possible with 7 card fit and D we have 8 card fit but is minor

According the BBO Advance1.3 N sould opening 2 pass 2(totally negative hand) pass and now what? Even if partener have classic system with answer 2, is still possible to End this Bid below 3NT?

Sorry from this messege if is long or spam. This hand is totally random draw on friendly house game

Don't judge others by your standards, I would open the W hand first or 3rd but mostly you're right about nobody opening the other hands. This sort of hand is a deathtrap and nobody will come out of it well.

N will think a 4333 yarborough will make game, so will bid one and it will fail.

Playing 2 with 2 waiting and cheapest suit 2nd negative, you might have the following auction:

2 - 2 (waiting)
2 - 2 (2nd negative)
3 - 3
Pass

3 is still a force, so the weak hand has to bid something. 3 fulfills that obligation and is about as weak a bid as possible.

2D waiting is a very clumsy system that makes it hard to stop in this sort of position.
if you can bid number of points or number of controls over 2C it is easy to stop in 2H.

And you'll stop in 2 opposite xxx, 9xxx, 9xx, xxx or xxx, x, 98xxx, xxx where game is excellent, the hand is just too good to stop

actually the hand you show, you didn't need to jump: partner holding 4 card support over your 4 loser hand should invite also, even with a Yarborough as you already know he has no controls.

I don't normally get rude on this forum, or opinionated at best, but that it is rubbish, in my view. A 2 bid shows either 0-1 control - one king at best - and most players do agree that even with a negative response, the bidding should continue until opener bids either 2NT, 3 of a major, or 4 of a minor.

Opener just needs one king with a fit for 4/5 to be on, or just an entry and a finesse. So responder passes a 2 bid? What if opener's second suit is s not s?

Totally agree with rmnka447 that 3 is the likely outcome of this hand. My way of bidding this would be 2 - 2(I prefer negative to waiting) - 2 - 2NT (second negative) - 3 - 3 (grudging preference)

Anyone who says they will stop in 3H is really resulting. Even with the awful S hand as dummy 4H has chances; it’s cold on a 3-3 break or on a non spade lead and a 4-2 break.

Playing old fashioned bridge it would go 2C - 2D - 2H - 2NT - 3D - 3H - 4D - 4H.

And that's so true too, Graham. Just as a curiosity factor, I stuck the North hand in K&R and it comes out at 27.1. Even with 2 being 0-1 controls, or 2 being waiting or negative, and subsequent bids being a 'double negative' I can't see many players settling for 3 with the North hand. And even using Fantunes and Gazzilli I still can't see many North's settling for a part score either.

Yes, we're all resulting in la-la land.

OK, look at the second hand then where 5 is hugely with the odds, or make the first hand 4333 rether than 3433.

I thought you were suggesting 2-2-P rather than 2-2-2 (which I would use as Kokish anyway so partner will never pass).

Since looking at partners hand is not allowed every “practically”oriented player ( and that includes me) will most certainly end up in 4H ..And that is that! Whether it makes or not is altogether different.

Was 3 natural ? and if so, how do you distinguish what you had from the same hand with KJxxx ?

If you play a second negative you should use it over 2, various different people will use 2/2N/3 as second negative. A common style where I am is that unless 2N is the rebid, 2 is GF in which case you're not stopping.

The problem with your auction is that the big hand could be slightly better or more suitable, if he has to jump to stop you passing on a 2 or 3 suited hand, then it makes his life very difficult.

Try void, AKxxx, AKQJx, AKx for example.

The point Cyberyeti makes above is very valid. Although a 2 opening bid is seen as a Game Force by many players, it sometimes results in game being reached on mediocre fits as on this hand. No bridge system, I believe, as I have indicated in a previous comment, would cope easily with this hand. What you did by bidding 3 and passing 3 might not be technically correct, but sometimes luck and gut instinct plays a part in this game too :)

You probably can't stop below game on this hand, and with a three-loser hand, I don't see why you would want to. Even with the N-S hands, you make 4H if H are 33 or if West doesn't lead a spade. Not so awful. And of course, there is no way to know partner's hand is truly this ghastly, even if he makes a 2H dbl negative bid (or some other similar dbl neg bid).

Cheers,
Mike

What about 2 - 2 / 2 - PASS? Now and then you must make anti system bids.

In reading a book by Frank Steward-modern convention systems, I consider a 2C opener forcing only to 3 of a major. In this respect, I agree with the above statements-and let the bidding die at 3H. After all, north does have 24 hcp, but a lot of quacks there, making it worth less.
