[blml] Réf. : Re: De Whale [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

De : Herman De Wael
The man who bids 4H either has 6 hearts or only one. There is
no ambiguity as to his intentions. And the bid cannot mean both at the
same time. The responder will either pass or go on to 4S or 6S, and
there too is no ambiguity. If both are on the same wavelength, how are
you going to believe them when they say "no agreement".
 
 
I'd like to add that there are cases where the action is obvious even absent
the agreement. In that case, Herman's automatic adjustment for "guessing
right" seems wrong.
 
It's teams, and the bidding (unopposed) goes : 1S - 2C - 2S - 3S. 
Now RHO asks about 3S (strange time to do it, but it was in the BW case too)

He wants to know whether 3S is forcing.
You answer : "I don't know". 
 
Just assume it's true : you didn't discuss it.
Of course, you, me and the Emperor of Tonkin will bid 4S on a minimum, just
in case.
 
If we guessed right, should we be penalized ? Surely not.
 
Best regards
 
   Alain
