adhoc3 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 IMP, Non vs Vul JT98xKQTxxx--Qx 1S---(2D)---2S---(4NT*)____*after long consideration5H---(dbl)---pss--(6D)??? Not everyone agree with the opening 1S, but it makes possible to show the second suit at 5 level. Now what would be your choice here?

HeartA Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I wouldn't open. now, I would pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 You surely are joking. I think that 1S is really bad with hearts so much better than spades, but ok, I'm willing to go that far. But 5H with this after partner has just shown a simple raise?? An now you are suggesting that we might bid again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hi, I would have passed as opener,and I pass now.The main problem is, your partnerhas no chance to get it right. If you repeat hearts, partner willalways give you a preference back to spade. And by the way, you already promised 6-5 ... of course longer spades and a better spade suit. With kind regardsMaarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I also would have passed as opener. Anyway, 6D hasn't made yet and 6S may be extremely expensive. I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I would also have passed as opener. And I'm not going to bid my hand twice (I already did too much) so now I pass! As Frances said 6S may go for a phone number and I really don't know if they have 6♦ Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I wouldn't open this hand, and IF I'd get it in my mind to open, I'd start with a clear 1♥: longest Major. If partner has enough ♠, he'll Dbl after the 2♦ overcall... Why do I bid 5♥? Slam try perhaps? We already have a fit you know, this is NOT competitive showing a longer ♥ suit. ;) Now we've worked ourselves into serious problems imo:- You can't dbl, since partner will lead ♣ as he thinks it'll be lightner.- You can't pass, since that's probably forcing after our 5♥ rebid (slam try remember).- 6♥ or 6♠ is way too high.

Al_U_Card Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I might find a Flannery 2D opening with that hand (better than 1S for sure) but if I like my partner, I would pass and then show this 2-suiter later (especially since the H are longer than the S)...having opened pass and pass again.....less to explain to the police when they are called to investigate. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I agree with the comments so far: I would go further: this is not remotely close to an opener for me, and bidding now shows a superman complex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I will not repeat the comments and will just add , you did a move (actually 2 moves) just sit back and hope those moves worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 If I was to open, and din't had a major weak 2 suiter one I woudl also open 1♠. But I think I wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvan14 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 There is no defense, and opening this hand either 1♠ or 1♥ can mislead partner. Who (btw) might also be misled by 5♥ [forward going, proposes a defense, gives a lead?].Pass now, in any case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearmum Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Firstly I would NOT have opened at all :) and NEVER would have bid ♥ at the 5 level -- after all P has only given a SINGLE raise :) So I PASS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 If I'm going to bid now, it's gonna be 7♠ :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
