Tip No. 37

Uncommon Bidding Sequences - No. 4


The bidding sequences below are all more or less uncommon. The question is - what is the meaning of the last bid shown? Assume you play 2/1 game forcing, Bergen Raises, Help Suit Game Tries, Inverted Minors, RKC Blackwood, Lebensohl and Ogust. But decide on a meaning for each bid regardless of the system you play.

I give my suggested meanings in the Commentary. I expect that there will be some disagreement on many of them.

If you and your partner do not have an understanding on each of these bids, you should discuss them.

1. 3C - P - 4D	2. 3D - P - 4C	3. 3D - P - 3S - P 4S	4. P - P - 1S - P 3C
5. 1H - 1S - P - 3C	6. 1S - 2D - 4D	7. 1N - X(pen) - XX	8. 1N - X(not pen) - XX
9. 1N - X(pen) - 2C	10. 1S - P - 4D - Dbl	11. 1S - P - 2N - P 4S - P - 4N - P 5C - P - 5D - P 5N	12. 2C - P - 2D - P 2S - P - 4N - P 6C
