Re: hesitation

A similar situation without any partnership understanding occurred a number
of years ago. In a Swiss Teams, a new partner dealt and opened a Multi 2D.
RHO passed. I jumped to 3H (non-invitational pass-or-correct). LHO passed.
Pard passed, promising a weak two in hearts. Now RHO balanced with an
insufficient 3D. I accepted the insufficient bid, rebidding 3H. LHO passed
again. Now pard guessed (correctly) that my second 3H bid showed a maximum
for my non-invitational values. Since pard held a maximum weak two, he
raised to 4H, all pass. Cold for +620.

Since pard correctly guessed my intent, did this mean that our first-time
partnership had an implicit understanding? I think not, as Law 40C1 has the
criterion: "++Repeated++ deviations lead to implicit understandings".

Best wishes,

Richard Hills
