Well Arend, for once, I don't agree with you ! B) Well, I think that if I have the mini splinter available I would use it for this type of borderline hand... Justin adn Josh, If you had the mini available, would you use it ?

[hv=d=s&v=b&s=sq987ha75dkqj95c6]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] You are dealer and south : 1♦ (-) 1♠ (-) ? You don't splay mini splinter ! What's your bid ?

3♣ seems OK

Pass, second choice : 1♦

Probably 1♦ 1♥ 1♠ 3♦ 3♥ 3♠ 4♦ P

1) Pass 2) 1♦

Agree

3♥ in standard method but happy to play Gazilli ! :)

For me : Dbl : t/o, both majors and not enough to act last round 2m : natural

1. 1♥ 2. Sorry, I don't find a word for this.. :) 3. Yes but close

They are vul so I will try to take the money... double

3NT

Pass all 3 hands... I might bid 2♠ on 1st only if NV vs V

♠9 = promising 10+1H or 98xx or 9x for me In MP, I could also go for a passive ♥ Alain

Double, I have 4 ♥'s

Clear t/o X in S and X in N = ♠'s

Agreed

OK but passing again may depend of the vul with that poor holding in ♦

Same

Arghhhhhhhh ! :( :(

Agreed, although Hedy Grey, during a vugraph broadcast the other day, said that for her the range is 17-19. I confess that I have not seen that concept before. Roland Well I suppose that she plays 1NT 10-14 X and then 1NT 15-17- 2NT : 17-19- X and then 2NT 19+-21 I also prefer to keep 2NT to show basically the same stength as a 2NT opening. Alain

And what is his real name? :D Don't know but he seems to know a bit about this game ! ;) :P

Pass : this is not a 2H overcall in my book X : both majors and as Marlowe says : extras to compensate the shape. I can also live with 1H Alain

I know another one who's not on the lists : jlall ! :P :D

Pass
