When I gave the problem to my wife, I gave her 4-0-4-5, and she still opened 1D. But, the general point seemed easier to make in the actual auction.<br /><br />Later that night, this same partner opened 1C, RHO overcalled 1H, and I jumped to 3H with 4-1-3-5 pattern, to make a point.

Partner can prevent this problem by opening 1D in the first place. Then when you make some sort of diamond raise partners action is clear. It sounds like if I had been your partner, we would have gotten to 6D in about two rounds of bidding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
