In Acol 3S is NF, but clearly this partnership it was forcing and not only forcing but propelled the hand that was limited to start using "suit gerber".
ReplyDeleteI agree 3S is NF in Acol but it is highly invitational indicating 13+ pts and 6 card suit. It should only be passed if there is a misfit. With this information it is not unreasonable with a maximum for south to make a slam try. If they had 'suit Roman key card blackwood' in their agreement instead of 'suit gerber' they would probably get to slam with the 2 key cards and Q of trumps response taking the chance the missing A&K weren't in same suit.

ReplyDeleteIt can't be 13+ and NF, surely?. More like 11-12 and NF, at least that is what my "bible" says. I have 2 bibles both say NF, the other doesn't say the hcp required for the jump rebid.
ReplyDeleteThis of course gives a problem for ACOl if you do have 13+ and a good 6 card suit, what do u do. Bid game and hope the misfit, if any, is not too bad? Wayne has a 2NT gadget to assist with these hands.
Try "Prefect Minimum" and see if u get to slam. Give pard KQS, AH, KC. Looks like a heart loser and club loser are still possible aside from the AC. Obviously certain distributions may get u there, but note that after drawing trumps there may be no second entry for the diamonds if they don't run.
Hmmm, actually that was a perfect max!
