mr1303 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Opening 4S is wrong, if you want to get to slam. This is a sound 1S opener. With that dummy, after 4S P to me, I would pass like a shot and hope to not get doubled. To be fair though, I'm not sure how I would get to 6S on these cards. Playing 2/1 1S 2C2S 3C3S 4D (is this a cue? Probably)4H 4NT5H 6S but I'm not happy with the auction, especially since West has a void in East's main suit.

Finch Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I really hate opening 4S on that West hand, with two aces a king and a void. It just looks like too good a hand to me. Having said that, there's nothing wrong with playing in 4S. 6S seems to need spades 2-2, which makes it against the odds. It gets to be a slightly better contract if you have any chance of the ace of clubs lead or a heart away from the king, but I'm quite happy not bidding it.

WHY open 4♠ (ESPECIALLY in 1st position)when you have perfectly good 1♠ opener ????? :ph34r: :blink: It's almost impossible for partner to bid over the "weak" 8 card prempt :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barmar Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I also agree that it's not a great slam. It does have a couple of other chances to make, though: 1) Someone has ♣Ax2) South has ♣Axx... and hops up with the A when you lead a ♣ from dummy, trying to prevent you from scoring a singleton Q.
