what's the point in bidding a 5 card suit if pard has 2 or less cards in it?? that hand bids 5 and hopes for the best.


How did u come up with pard having 2 or less cards in it ? And if so,
Whats the point of bidding your 4 card major suit, 4 level, when pd is known to have 2 or less in that suit ? :rolleyes:

Look, for the last time: if one bids

(3x) dbl (pass) 4y
(pass) 4z

then, in my style, doubler has at most 2 cards in suit y (with 3 he passes). So, if responder has only 5 cards in y, there's no point in insisting on suit y.

The point of bidding 4z with 4 cards, a suit were pard rates to have no more than 3 cards (not 2), is to look for a better contract than 4y.

Ok..Well...congrats pal ! You had 15 hcps with a stiff K and Jxx in opponent suit, u started DBL, corrected 4 to 4 with 4 cards and yes u may find a 4-3 or 5-3 or 6-1 fit somewhere and hopefully sometime soon, with a partner who keeps on bidding shy, just dont be surprised to see the RED AXE from LHO after u and your pd is settled in this fancy bidding jam! Not even mentioning the other messes u would start, if pd had a bigger hand with

But this is a bidding topic, after all there is this popular emergency EXIT door in bidding topics which is called " My style" and overrides all the unimportant stuff like logic, common sense, knowledge...etc. I should have known better and listen to my personal #1 forum rule " Never argue with those who has a style for every bidding topic"

What's the matter with you? If you don't like my bidding, just say so. No need to get silly.

His problem is that he doesn't yet have enough forum experience to know that you will insist on your horrible methods no matter how much rational argumentation is brought to bear upon them.

As for the original question, easy pass.
