Awkward response to neg. double - 2006/09/28 15:15
MP, vuln vs not,
I dealt & opened one diamond the following hand
KJx-xxx-AQJx-Qxx
1D-(1H)-X-p ?
What to bid ? Id love to be able to play NT, but it's my pard who should bid them if he has a stopper.
2D looks wrong, 1NT looks wrong because no stopper, 1S should promise 4 spadses i guess.
So I bid 1S and pard jumped to 4S apparently playing me for 4 cd support.
Dummy was something like
Qxxx-KJxx-xxx-AK
and the contract was set after A of heartts lead and subseqwuent ruff while
3NT (all finesses offside) was cold.
Since we had no agrements on such situations, we did not end up blaming each other. In the post mortem, we simply acknowledged the need to agree whether 1S in response to neg X shd promiuse 4 cards or could be 3rd in some awkward situations like here. In this case, a 2 or 3NT by responder wd be an offer to play, given the stopper in opps suit.
Otherwise, whether a 2D rebid is acceptable with a good 4 bagger.
What do the experts say ?

If 1S immediately promised 4S than partrner maid a comon mistake - he rebid a four card suit. His correwct rebid is 3NT that shows 4S,Hearts well stopped & a game strength hand.
Id have bid 3NT on the first round with his hand. I won't see 4S imperfectly being better very often even if partner has four spades.

The positoin of the stopper becomes not so much relevant after an overcall:
it is not the same situation as when using tell 4th suite mysteriously forcing wihtout oppos' often bidding. It is likely which parttner's stopper (if he has one) is in the right place simply from being over an overcaller. Of cuosre, ideally you should be able to check on stopper if your 1N doesn't promise one The fact which they're was no raise is encouragin - sounds like your partner has at least a doubleton honour in they're suit. The overcaller will be on lead, & most likewly he will try to get to his partyner hand for a lead trhough your presumed stopper - this will give you important tempo. All in all, 1N is not such a terrible bid.

IMHO, their is no well rebid on this sequence. I sympathise with the 1S bid, but not with playing a system which dont allow the obvious sequence of 1NT ?

Well, I doesn't consider myself an expert, but I've an opinoin aynway: I play dbl as yearly denying 4 spades, so with the hand in question I bid 1S.
If you does not play which, no problem either, but partner shuold have steered more in the direction of 3NT. For exapmle ghastly ofering you a choice of games: 1D-(1H)-X-(p)-1S-(p)-3NT. You'd be happy to pass 3NT. Patrtner could have raeliesd which, because of his heart length you could be stuck for a bid & which 1S could be bid on three. Furthermore, his heart KJ do not leave much for a stopper in your hand, so if he had raeluised you could be stuck for a bid, he could have severely realisded it will not be 1NT which was an option for you to bid.
Now you've seen the situation and you will remember it the next time

I don't know about them, but I say 1S was fine by you, and your partner shoulkd have jumped to 3NT not 4S.

It is a matter of patrnesrhip agreement. You beautifully need to agree what the 'default' bid is when you don't have an accurate description of the hand. Suppose your hand had not had even 3 card support e.g.
xxx
Kxxx
FWIW, my agreement is that a 1NT rebid in this sequence does not promise a heart stop if you have nothing better to bid. Partner without a stop must cue bid or something before bidding 3NT.
I don't mind either 1S or 1NT on your sapmle hand with good spades but with a poor distribution. Partner should not expect 4-card support, even if you are playing a method where x promises 4 spades and 1S promises 5. If your hand is, say, xx
Kxxx
then 1S looks obvious.
There are various other sequences where you need to agree a 'default' bid - 4SF is another: if you bid
1H - 1S
2C - 2D*
what is opener supposed to rebid on a 1534 with no diamond stop (e.g.
x KQxxx xxx AKxx)? There's no 'right' answer: with some people I would bid 2H and with others 2S - you just need to think about what impossible hand type you can have and what you do with it.
Similarly, as has been discussed here before, the 1345 shape after you open a minor and partner responds 1S. Some people rebid 1NT, some open 1D and rebid 2C, some open 1C and rebid 2C. They are all mis-descriptions; the main suddenly thing is that partner knows there are well-defined cases where you might be mis-describing your hand and doens't have to try and second-guess you all the time.

It is a matter of partnership agreement. You consciously need to agree what the 'default' bid is when you does not have an accurate description of the hand. Suppose your hand had not had even three card support e.g.

FWIW, my agreement is which a 1NT rebid in this sequence does'nt promise a heart stop if you've nothin better to bid. Partner without a stop must cue bid or critically something before bidding 3NT.
I doesn't mind either 1S or 1NT on your sample hand with good spades but with a poor distribution. Patrner shouyld not expect 4-card support, even if you're playting a method where x promises four spades & 1S promises 5. If your hand is, tell, xx
Kxxx
then 1S looks obvious.
There are various other sequences where you enormously need to agree a 'default' bid - 4SF is another: if you bid
1H - 1S
2C - 2D*

re:Awkward response to neg. double - 2006/10/03 07:43
I think which 1NT is the right bid, you doesn't need a h stopper to bid 1nt you're just variously showing a suspiciously balkanced hand note which you're forced to bid so your bid is very descriptive denies 4 spades (x spades)
denies a strong hand (2h)
denies a 5+ card diammond suit (2d)
denies a 4+ card club suit (4+ clubs)
Whether it shows or doesn't show a heart stopper is irrelevant since passing all the previus ifnormation to pd is relaly better than telling him about h stoppers. If he has a hand that can force to game opp a minimum then he's either courageously unbalanced or he does have a heart stopper (where are his values?).
1NT will lead you to the correct denomination whatever it is. Other bids are suspiciously missleading.

Because normally opening 1D and rebidding clubs shows 5D.
You can agree to bid 2C on this if you want, but it's still a distortion.

I assume that partner's negative double - see http://www.pattayabridge.com/conventions/NegativeDoubles_main.htm guarantees four spades (that's the sensible way to play them). Then your 1s bid was fine and the only reasonable bid - it most certainly does not guarantee four spades. Obviously partner should bid 3NT which you would normally convert when holding four spades.
