ONE OFF
When I take a 50-50 chance, I expect it to come off 8 times out of 10 (Hideous Hog)
Conventions ...
Trial bids
Long suit trial bid asks for support in the suit bid. Exception is after 1♥ - 2♥. Here 2♠ is Short suit mode and 2NT asks for support in ♠.
In competition it is possible, that we can not ask in particular suit, so our bid asks for that suit ans suit(s) below. If there is no oom for a bid, then double is a general trial bid.
example: 1♠ - (pass) - 2♠ - (3♥) - dbl
Short suit mode trial bid is triggered by bidding 2♠ after 1♥ - 2♥ or 2NT after 1♠ - 2♠.
We ask RE in which suit he holds potential useless values if we hold a singleton or void in that suit.
After 1♥ - 2♥ - 2♠, 2NT shows useless values in ♠.
Trump trial bid is shown with the sequence 1M-2M -3M. RE passes or bids 4M if she holds:
- 2TH in trump
- 1TH in trump and an Ace aside
- 1TH in trump and 4+ card trump support
- 2 Aces aside
- 1 ace aside and 4+ card trump support
