- Well I assume Kelsey was discussing Acol, not 2/1. In Acol, if you
- start with a 2C bid, you have no rebid to describe this hand, so you
- have to jump shift. The bidding might proceed:
-
- 1S 3C
- 3D 3H
- 4H 4S Which is not sign-off, but slamish.
-
- (Playing modern Acol, if this is a 4-4 fit, partner is stronger - about a 17
- count)
-
- I prefer Bob's way when playing 2/1. Otherwise, its hard for partner to envisage
- your hand.
