Very off topic, but someone told me once that it is forbidden to have agreements/coventions that trigger when opponents make inssuficent bids, is this right?


I was making a joke.

It's not disallowed by the Laws.

Law 40B3 reads, "The Regulating Authority may disallow prior agreement by a partnership to vary its understandings during the auction or play following a question asked, a response to a question, or any irregularity." So it may have been prohibited by the regulations in whatever jurisdiction you were playing in, or it may just have been untrue.
... 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

2 easy. I expect the auction to go high very fast, but that's ok, whatever happens I can probably just bid 5 later on.
