My understanding from the years on this forums has been that prime is used to qualify a hand with very good honnors, specially top tricks. I am not sure if you are joking or if I am misusing prime on this context. Please explain.


I don't know the Spanish term, but a prime number is a whole number that is only divisible by itself and one.

Oh wait, http://math2.org/mat...h/eng-spa.htm#P says that it is el número primo.

When I first saw this thread, my immediate reaction was

"Oh coo, they found a new prime"

Immediately followed by

"17,6322" seems awfully small for a new prime

and then

"17,6322" isn't even prime

FWIW, I think that 2N is obvious

17 is prime, 6322 is just the distribution Richard :P

2NT was the answer, if you bid 3♠ partner will raise with low singleton to an impossible contract, 3NT is cold

3S absolutely has to show a better suit than this. 2NT looks right on in all senses.

2N. Hopefully we play some kind of transfers here. Never thought about it but what if 1♠ - 1N - 2N - 3♥ - 3♠ - 3N showed a doubleton spade and a choice of games?

Or play transfers over 1♠-1NT instead?
Kind regards,
Harald

Why does everyone hate clubs so bad :(

No, actually I haven't ever heard about using transfers over 1♠(1M?) - 1NT before, I assume it works much like gazzilli in principle but is it actually better?

2NT and have a 3C device to checkback for 6 spades or even 4 hearts, if you also like to rebid 2NT with 5-4-2-2.

3♠ - that is what my Hand is worth.

Besides, I do not like an NTrebid here. Opps will lead through my minor kings......
