Interesting Hand - How would OCP Bid this hand?

<< < (2/2)

I think I agree with you about the scale for Beta after a 4 !C/4 !D Opening. Typically Namyats is a 4-level pre-empt with an outside Ace, or something along those lines, so I'd be perfectly comfortable with using the normal scale.


Jimmy
I think (given my comment above) that I'd be heading for the following sequence as Responder:
4 !D     -     4 !H(Beta)
4NT(3)   -   5 !C(Epsilon)
5 !S(2nd) - 6 !S
All Pass


4 !H agrees Spades so Epsilons are available over the 4NT response. You even just punt 6 !S over the 4NT Beta response.

Jimmy:
Yes,  I can see OCP using the normal scale,  since responses should be lower level of steps. 

As for the namyats,  we have adopted the system.  However,  we use combination of Cue bids and Key Card since we don't use the asking bid algorithms.     EX:   4D -  4H (cues),  4D - 4NT (KC) and 4D - 4S  signoff
