Guest Jlall Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 1H for me too. It's just gonna get too tough to describe your hand if you open 2C. I'm not really worried about a passout as I think it will happen less than 3% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 2C seems fair to me. I don't think there'll be a problem describing this hand 2C 2D2S 2NT3H 3NT4H and so on. With a trick less I would bid a straight 4H after 2NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that was a game force auction for you, a bit tougher if you start out:2c=2h(non game force but not negative just deny A or K) or whatever in your style :(.

You will not like it very much. You also assume the opps won't bid. Holding 2 minor suit cards and opening 2C, this seems unlikely to me.

han Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 And then there still is the problem that the opponents are likely to interfere and you may not be able to show both suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 If we start with showing off our little systems, why not open a strong 1♣ opening? ;) Easy 1♥ imo, easiest way to show strong with 5-6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 1♥. If I open 2♣ we'll likely get pummeled in ♦/♣ and not get our suits in. If pard passes 1♥ - I am only slightly worried about playing exactly 1♥. It may be a total misfit or the opponents might rescue me. If I get a 2 of a minor balance on my right, I will jump to 3♠.

Playing a strong 1C system is in my experience WORSE than playing strong 2C systems. The opponents are even more likely to interfere and when they do, you partner doesn't even know close to how strong you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hi, 2C - planning to bid 2H and over that 3S, and finally 4H, wtp? Maybe partner wont give me 6-5, but at least I showed 6-4. I want to reach game. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If pard has 2-2 and I go down for playing in the wrong fit... well, that's the worst-case-scenario, and I don't usually think in terms of that. As I say, this is a guessing game. My guess is to open 2♣ and sort it out later. Yours is to open 1♥ and hope it's not passed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I am not worried, about the opponents, I have a suit, I can play Hearts. Maybe I can describe my hand 100%, but I want to hear partner decision, if they sacrifie with 5 or 6 ina minor.
