jillybean Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 [hv=s=sahadxxxxca986432]133|100|(p)p(1nt)?[/hv] another indy, NV, MPI bid 3♣ thinking 1nt was likely a genuine bid and little (no!) chance of game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 3C is ok...preempts them out of the majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 hhhm partner is a passed hand and you have 7 clubs.....wtp? ;) I am constantly amazed on how well simply bidding one's hand works out and the genius clever tricky bids fail.

pclayton Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 A 7-4 adds up to an 8 card suit (Kit Woolsey). This nice ODR looks like a 4♣ call. Takes away their Texas transfer too ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 A 7-4 adds up to an 8 card suit (Kit Woolsey). This nice ODR looks like a 4♣ call. Takes away their Texas transfer too ;) For me, 3♣ is enough. Two singleton aces and weak suits looks like a lot of defense and not-so-huge offense to me. Also, do I really want to preempt them out of their 5-3 major fit? I have no problem with 4♣. Arend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I also would not consider this high ODR. Aren't honors in short suits low ODR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Vulnerability is important here. 3C is certainly reasonable at any vulnerability, but 4C is not when vulnerable against not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 ODR is again… offensive/defensive ratio?So a high ODR is a suitable hand to be declarer and visa versa? Maybe we could put together a glossary of bridge acronyms and lingo. jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 ODR refers to people who smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could put together a glossary of bridge acronyms and lingo. jb that's correct Kathryn. So this hand is not half as offensive as, say: xxQJ10xKQJxxxx With that, everybody would be bidding a LOT. (talking about lingo, LOT usually refers to the law of total tricks but here it does not).
