This one's easy: 2NT. Pard will bid 3♠ on the way to 3NT if he's got 3 cards. If bidding NT on weak black holdings annoys you, you can try 3♦ instead.

If pard is the sort of person who always tries for 3NT, you can also try the immaginative 3♥ bid.

Whereagles convinced me, though I would have used the 4th suiot forcing... C'mon I have 11 HCP which are like 14 in this sequence...

2♥ for me. Wimpy, but bidding 2NT directs us towards what will often be the wrong game (and the opponents will have no trouble finding the right lead). Occasionally a 2♥ rebid misses a game, but some of these 26 hcp with no fit and no stopper games don't make anyway.

I'd be inclined to rebid 2♠ as opener with a 3-5-4-1 minimum at matchpoints.

That's why partner will rebid 3♠ with three of them over 2NT; he's got extras and will accept the invite.

I, as "partner," will bid 2♠ at my second turn with three spades, rather than 2♦; not 3♠ at my third turn over 2NT on the given auction.

So would I, with a minimum. With extras, I would rebid 2♦ and support spades next.

All my cards look to be working well here. I don't mind forcing to game on this one: 3C.

2♥ for me, willing to miss some games in order to often play the best partscore. I am not as optimistic about missing my 26 HCP games as Adam, but this is still my choice.

3♦ puzzles me at matchpoints. Josh, did you see the form of scoring? I think the losses from 3♦ on our partscores are too great to seriously consider this call.

Games score well at mps too! I actually would prefer 3♥ except that it essentially precludes 3NT, which is too big of a loss for me.

3D or 3H for me. I've got some cool cards. I'd probably end up choosing 3H.

2♥

P may open with Rule of 20.
♠Jx ♥ AJTXX ♦ QTXX ♣ KX

or ♠Qx ♥ AJTXX ♦ QTXX ♣ KJ

I am not willing to try a game if I find that collections.

If playing with a good , long term, partner in general, I really want to know what a minimum game force hand by responder looks like. Yes, I can always upgrade or downgrade based on fit, just let me know what a minimum game force hand looks like in general.


2h if partner opens lite
3c if partner opens sound.

Your partner probably opens something like 85% of her 12-point hands and 15% of her 11-point hands, using reasonable judgment to evaluate them based on intermediates, distribution, and prime values.

As you would bid 2H with the AJ of D removes, 2H cannot be the right bid now. I will bid 3H on this - yes, I know that is not ideal, but I prefer this to 2NT or 3D

3♣ for me.

Yes, a small overbid, but nothing else is attractive, and this is likely to get us to the best strain.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.
