Apparently there are still people who play on Bridge Base in individual tournaments who don’t think 1NT-P-2D is a transfer to hearts. Yesterday, I was playing in one of these silly games when I was dealer and the auction went:
1NT-P-2D-2H
X-P-P-XX
P-P-P
We had a 9 card heart fit and they went down 5 for the ridiculous total of 2800. The 2H bidder had like a 12 count with 4144 shape. I guess I can understand not bidding after I double 2H, but not bidding after the redouble seems quite odd. Some of the craziness that happens with randoms on BBO. At least they kept us out of 4H.
2H is supposed to be like Michaels - 5 spades and 5 of a minor.
ReplyDeleteWith a good 4=1=4=4, you can pass then double 2H (takeout) at your second turn.
