Hi everyone.

Last night I was playing Khamerashi, a strongly modified strong club system, when 1D promises 0 diamonds (if 4405 shape).

The following auction happened:

P RHO Me LHO
1D 2D ?

I asked what 2D was, and LHO said it was natural, showing diamonds.

I held:



Any ideas what I should do here, and what bids should mean in this situation. This isn't one they teach you at bridge school.

Assume partner did not open any suit but just a general something thing. I get this auction a lot in Polish Club (but with ♣ of course).

Double is negative (my bid on this hand)

2M is natural (and non-forcing if you play negative free bids)

3♦ asks for a stopper for 3NT

Yeah, Dbl as negative is the easiest use. Just don't consider that 1♦ as real, but just some 'points'... If partner has his ♦s, he can still pass it in :D

What notrump interval (if any) is included in 1♦? If 11-12 (as in Cinderella) then I might pass this one, depending on scoring and vulnerability. Otherwise it's a clear negative double. Btw, if 1♦ can be an 11-12 NT, I would play negative freebids in this situation (might consider transfer freebids against other overcalls).
