I suppose if your partner is hard of hearing, which is quite likely as he is 85, you might have to shout "forcing" when placing the 1♠ card on the table.
Fantastic post hahahaha.

I think this is very unfair.......it is common to play 1s as nf even in bws.
Granted on this deal and most others pard will rebid.

Slight snag, 1S isn't forcing for your partnership in this problem, and 2S meaning is undiscussed, and ur partner is 85 and has already made a negative dbl with a 6 count 4243 after 1H 2C x...so this problem gets uglier
okay since I can't abstain (BWS is like a bible) you are forced to call 2♦ and If that is your only forcing call you cannot play that as necessarily promising a fit.

Apparently you have NO sense of humour.

What's my "I take control" bid after 1H overcall?
Hope some lower than 4N.
My partnership uses 2NT(as Ogust):
H-bad/H-good bal/H-good and short lo/mid/hi. Step for controls.

Disclaimer: Back in my usual acehole mode:
I am amazed anybody would play 1♠ as non-forcing???
Anyway, on all continuations I bid 6♠. No way I explore for 7 here, with such ambigious agreements.
(Yes, I love the word ambigious. Have loved it ever since somebody told me how to spell it.)

LHO opens 1D partner overcalls 1H and it gets passed to you.
So you bid 2D (what else?) LHO passes, then partner bids 3H, now what?
If you bid 2S originally over 1H, partner will bid 3S, now what?

- Over 1♥, 2♠ = 10, 2♦ = 6.
- Now 6♠ = 10, 4♣ = 8, 4N = 7.

Maybe these people aren't anybody:
Lauria-Versace
Meckstroth-Rodwell
Berkowitz-Cohen
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Who?
But thruthfully I haven't given it any real thougth.
Guess I'm indoctrinated with the cuebid guaranteing support, and seeing little use for a NF 1♠ bid.

After 3H bid over 2D cue solves one problem, H will be trumps. How old u said he is 85?; ok that solves another problem, im not going to ask aces or controls or anything for that matter. Hmmmmm..... 6H comes into my mind, ill bid that. Oh it went 3 down dbled, i will buy another drink for me and my partner and that will solve that problem, this is a simple game for simple people.
