mike777 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I posted this hand because I stopped opening weak 2's on hands like this about 5 years ago. Yesterday, it just felt right and tried it for 'old times sake' :P . Pard had: Kxxx, xx, Txxx, AQx and we defended 4♥, barely beating it a trick when declarer misguessed trump (dummy had ATxx, she had Qxxx) reasonably playing my pard for the K. 4♠ is on a heart guess only, which you will get right on the auction. No one got to game amazingly - the +170's were ties for top. +50 was a 3/12 for us :) . It is shocking that no one got to game after a 4 card limit raise, WOW!

Come back from the dark side Phil, open your opening hands one of a suit. :-) Dealer had a nice little middle level pass with fit, so the point counters see 11 opposite 9 and say stop. Experienced players see that 11 as a nice hand (I called it more than a minimum), and that supporting hand as nice too. Zar fans see this as 28 opposite 22, then with fit/super fit points added (Responder gets 2 pts), opener gets 2 more as well), have no trouble bidding the game (52 needed for game).

Gerben42 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I don't agree 3♠ is an excellent bid. These colours on the board, they mean something you know. Even if you won't get doubled everyone will be in 2♠ and you will be in 3♠. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
