Bidding:

2♣-(2♥)-?


With no agreements on interference over 2♣ (fairly new partnership) what would your bid be here?

I like dbl is a bad hand, so pass and bids are forcing.
OK

The usual agreement is that any call other than double is forcing to game, and double is artificial and shows a bad hand.

With this hand I would pass and hope partner bids notrump, because then I can transfer to spades which will right-side the contract if partner has the ♥A. If he can't bid notrump, I'll bid spades.

2♠. If you can't show your spades at this point, there's something badly wrong with your methods.

2S, I have 7 of them.

The only alternativ is 4S, if one fears, that 2S gets passed out.

I don't care for this approach. Right siding only seems to matter when partner has Ax, or specifically KTx and if thats the case, we probably belong in spades. I think I'm going to have a rough time convincing pard I have 7 of them if I pass.

2♠ for me.

I like 3♠ here. Not perfect, but seems to be the closest to what I have.

I like playing transfer advances after 2♣ openings, so I would make a stolen bid double in this case.
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?

Seems safe to agree with gnasher once again.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

2♠ gets passed out? Does it conventionally show a zero count?

I bid 2♠. I have spades. I have values. What else is 2♠ supposed to show?

If 2♠ is not the correct call on these cards, then there is something very wrong with the game of bridge.

Fortunately it does not matter in this hand that it is a new partnership and possibly no agreement. 2S. With a good pickup partner I would assume Pass = positive, Dbl = bust, Bid = natural positive.

If you were silly enough to play inquity2over1, you have an easy 3♠ bid here, which shows a six card suited headed by KJ or KQ or better (but not solid which is 2NT bid) no second suit. Generally not too much on the side suit.

This is documented on my dormant inquiry2over1 blog, but to be honest the 2♣ stuff (and some other things) are stolen from Chris Ryall excellent methods.

bidding goes 2c by p 2h by rho now what?

♠ KJ98654
♥ Q4
♦ Q4
♣ 62

Principal of fast arrival with a weak one suited hand applies here

2s is a fine response with AKQxx xxx xx xxx (or much stronger hands)
this hand however has a much stronger desire to play spades but not quite
good enough of a suit to demand it. My choice is

3s

there are many hands p can now raise to 4s they never would after a mere 2s
bid and failure to show nature of hand now makes it just plain impossible to catch up later.

what does 4s look like you ask?
