Holding:
S: Q7XXXX
H: 98X
D: KX
C: XX

Vul: None

W N E S
P 1N P 2H
P 2S X ?

Is 3s invitational or preemt here? what rdbl should mean here?
What do you do with:
1. weak hand, want to compete to 3s
2. invitational hand, ask pd to bid 3n or 4s.
3. game force hand.


Thx in advance.

Bid 3S

>2. invitational hand, ask pd to bid 3n or 4s.

Bid 2N or
Three of a new suit

>3. game force hand.

Any number of bids:

Redouble with a balanced hand, interested in a three level penalty double OR
a slam seeking hand or

Bid 4S with a hand worth game or
Bid 3NT: Pass or correct or
Three of a new suit

for me a bid like 3sp never invite in cometitve aution.
redouble show points and tends to offer penalty on the opponents.
If you want to invite and have no bid for it then you have to choose between game and partsoce, make it fast so your opponents will not know whats happening.
in cometitve many time you cant have a sientific aution , you just shoot and hope for the best.
4. If you have a very strong hand you can start with redouble.

I play just exactly as if they didn´t double:

If want to play 3♠ pass & I´ll bid them later.

If want to make a limnit: 3♠ (or 2Nt with 5 card suit)

If got a GF, redouble looks for partner to double if they land in one of his 4 card suits.

3♠ is no interest in anything, I am just competing.
XX = I am gonna make opps cry.
Pass either to weak to do anything or if on my next bid I X I am invitational with balanced hand and let pd decide.

3s is competitive.
3h is INV to 4s (a suit we know the doubler has)
XX = intention to penalize
pass = let them play we are out of this :-)

Consensus????

Whats the point of posting if everyone is agreeing with one another...
Come on, please...

Won't someone suggest something fun?

[mishovnbg]

3♠: competitive - min hand with 4 fit. Sorry Gonzalo, if you didn't bid it in time will be too late later
rdbl: max, fit, penalty double in 2 suits. Pass instead of rdbl and dbl later is optional.
2NT: max and TTx fit. (not common but can lead to 3NT with few hcp)
suit: max, values in suit and 4 fit.

Note: Are anybody remember that transfer didn't promise more than sign off?
