ONE OFF
When I take a 50-50 chance, I expect it to come off 8 times out of 10 (Hideous Hog)
Conventions ...
Support doubles and redoubles
Support dbl can only be bid by OP after:
- Level 1 opening
- RE bids 1M (transfer included)
- RHO lbids below 2M (naturally or artificially)
After 1♣ supp dbl shows unbalanced hand. If balanced and 11-13 we pass, with 17-19 we bid 1NT regardless of ST.
Even when these conditions are fullfilled, we do not bid supp dbl, if:
- we could better describe our hand otherwise
- we have tooo much strength in opp's suits- imamo defenziven list (malo A in K)
- RHO bid 1NT naturally
- we are too weak to play 2NT or above, if RE doesn't hold extras
Same goes for support rdbl.
After 1x - (pass) - 1M - (1/2y) - dbl RE's answers are:
- NF up to 2M
- invitational above 2M
- Cue bid is GF
