How to show strength in third seat - 2009/09/30 09:02
Hey guys,
I have been pondering some thoughts about showing strength in third seat. So after my partner opens one of a suit and my RHO doubles, 2 NT is Jordan 2 NT and shows 10+ points and 4+ trumps, while a redouble shows 10+ points and at most three trumps, preparing to possibly double for penalty. Then is it true that any other bid is weak? For instance, 1H-X-1S or 1H-X-2C are these both showing less than 10 points?
Also, if my partner opens one of a suit, my RHO overcalls 1 NT, and I double, I show 9+ HCP and the double is for penalty. I have always played that this is the only way to show strength, and any bid means I have at most 8 HCP. I was wondering if there was any convention I could use to show a fit for my partner if I have 9+ HCP and 4+ trumps for him, kind of like Jordan 2 NT. Thanks!
