- :

- It seems to me that opener is not strong enough to reverse and you are also in
- murky water saying 3C is still gf. I would have thought that it should start
-
- 1D 2C
- 2D 2N this clarifies the diamonds and responder probably
- shouldn't support diamonds without an honor especially
- with a stop in both majors.
-
- 3C not so sure about this since Lawrence says not to support
- clubs immediately without 4 and not min, so this could
- still promise 4
- 3D show the secondary support
-
- but I have no idea how to proceed from there. On the first auction above it
- seems that opener overbids then drives onto slam without knowing the clubs are
- solid and how the diamonds are going to play. On my partial auction, I am not
- clear whther reponder should bid 3D or switch over to cues somehow. I am not
- even sure what they both think is an agreed suit, if any, as yet.
-
- Clarification requested.
