Dealer: North
How would you bid it?
As North, I would not open, waiting for the opponents to bid a red suit and use a two-suiter overcall. If, in this case and the opponents do not bid, the bidding may go:
/
- 2
♣ (traditional)
2
♦ (two-suiters do not make positive rebid)
- 3
♦ (real suit and real opening)
4
♣ (now is the trouble)
- 4
♦ (I'm single suited)
4
♠ (My bidding system is defective)
- 4NT (I have a heart stopper, let's play here)
6NT (Considering you have 2
♣ strength, I think 6NT is playable)
- //
Then, the contract fails.
However, if 2
♣ can be freak, the bidding would still be the same since only single-suited freak hands are opened 2
♣.
If North opens and plays weak jump shift:
1
♣
- 1
♦ (playing WJS 2
♦, 3
♦ are all weak)
2
♠ (forcing to game)
- 7
♦
// (oh s**t)
Then, the contract fails when the
♠K is off
If North does not open and East preempts with 3
♥,
/ - (3
♥) - 5
♦ - (5
♥) (LoTT)
/ (oh s**t) - (/) - X - (/)
/ - (//) (no one dare to bid)
Then, a slam is missed
I cannot find a good method to bid these hands and don't bother finding one.
