Kalvan14 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 wheneve peopel find it close they tend to underbid. hmm I was always taught if it's close then overbid :D It's more fun that way too. Same here: "he fears his fate too much, or his deserts are small....". Sorry for bringing up once again my fav gadget: however, a 2N lebensohl, forcing 3 ♣ would solve everything.Now, 2♠ is 6 cards, minimum; 3 ♠ is a full-fledged reverse; and finally 2N-3♣-3♠ is something in between. This hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double ! Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 close 3S rebid, nonforcing, for me, 5 adjusted loser count, all acesseems to be too good for simple 2S rebid with 7 controlsso shoot me DHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Anyway, I also think this hand is depending on your opening style, whenyou can have 10 HCP and rebid 2♠ it becomesobvious you should bid 3 with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamaco Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I am wondering whether the concerns over the suit quality are really adequate for a suit headed by AK. I think KQJ753 would be considered good enough suit quality by almost everyone. No, I would not jump holding KQJxxx UNLESS holding substantal extras in power or shape in the side suits compared to the original posted hand. (Basically , I would jump with a 5-5.5 losers hand, but never with a 6 losers hand such as the original posted.) Back to suit quality.KQJxxx has 1 SURE loser and potentially 2. AKJxxx or AKT9xx both have good chances to play for no losers and virtually exclude losing 2 tricks in the suit: this makes the suit much stronger (by, say, almost 1 trick), in my opinion. However, IMO, the same cannot be said for AKxxxx with bad spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Anyway, I also think this hand is depending on your opening style, whenyou can have 10 HCP and rebid 2♠ it becomesobvious you should bid 3 with this one.This is one of the problems with a really light opening style: you have such a huge range that it becomes tempting (obvious?) that you have to jump with this kind of hand. Unfortunately, the light opening bid does not automatically transfer the missing hcp to partner ;) Partner's 1N is the same for the light opener's as it is for the more solid types (altho logically the upper range of 1N goes up, the bottom stays the same, thus compounding the problem). Light openers tend to ignore the problems caused by the style, but 'standard' methods (including 2/1) already suffer from the effects of the wide range for an opening bid: light openers compound this problem.

flytoox Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I vote for 2S. Pd is still there and he will do the right thing if his hand is not min. If his hand is min 2S rates to be our best contract. As mike said, if spade is akt9xx, I will switch to 3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatrix45 Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 :) You have a 2.5 spade bid, and RHO allows you to bid just that. WTP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Has anyone been influenced by the 2♥ bid BTW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
