Guest Jlall Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 3S. Sick. Suit should be much better than this. This is one hand I'd feel ok about opening 1N with a 6 card major. 2S is probably the right bid but I just can't bring myself to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I bid 2♦ and raise 2♠ to 3♠ in case I get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I had this hand at the table and considered all of these.. opening 1NT, opening 1S and rebidding 3S, and opening 1S and rebidding 2D. I did open 1S but I didn't have to think hard about a rebid, partner made a Bergen raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi, interpreting your comment, as saying 1NT is forcing, 2S.Assuming 1NT is non forcing, it gets tougher,3S, but 2S is a close second. Marlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 2♠, 2♦ and 3♠ are all good ways out of a not-so-confortable situation. The right one depends on pard, opps, state of match and how lucky you feel :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvan14 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 2♦, but opening 1NT originally would not have been a bad idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickyB Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 2♦ - really need two spades opposite to be going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 It's MP, just bid 2♠... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 100% ---2d and nothing else much too good to bid 2♠ suit much too lousy to bid 3s. opening 1 nt with a 6 card major ? I realize im throwing tons of MPs each year by opening 1nt with a 5cM. So im sick to still do it but im not mad enough to do it with a 6M. 2d could be fairly strong and could be 3 card anyway so whats the problem ? If partner pass he probably got 4d/5d and a stiff spades and you should still gonna get a decent board because of all those who went overboard (2nt can go down even if partner got some good values). xkxxaxxxqJxxx wont surprise me if 2nt go down despite our 26 pts. for those who bid 2♦what do you do over 2♥ partner rebid ? guess ill bid 3♥ Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 This is another where I want to bid 2C. 2D is too likely to be passed. 2C allows bart, which is great. This 2C works great if 2D shows 4 and 2C only 2. This makes my bid "natural." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000002 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 SO HARD! i prefer 2♠ rebidgain the plus score at the first ,to me ,to partner,to my team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 2♣ RITON, followed by 2♠. Let partner work it out without struggling in 3♠ on misfit if that is what we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I haven't ran any hands through K and R in awhile. Personally, I've had some bad boards because I've overevaluated borderline hands with a HH doubleton somewhere. K and R calls this a 15.2. Make the ♥Q a spot and its 14.3. So a 2♠ rebid is heavy, but reasonable. Another upside to 2♠ is that my greedy RHO may balance over 2♠ on our misfit :P I don't mind a 1N opening, but only at MP's.

han Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 2♣ RITON, followed by 2♠. Let partner work it out without struggling in 3♠ on misfit if that is what we have. Obviously, I wouldn't have asked the question if I was playing Riton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamaco Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 3S. Sick. Suit should be much better than this. This is one hand I'd feel ok about opening 1N with a 6 card major. Wow that's cool ! About 2 years ago I posted a similar hand (6322 with even worse 6cM suit), and asked to the forum posters if they would agree with my choice of opening it 1NT (to avoid rebid problems etc etc). I was literally buried by a pile of disapproving replies (except Cascade who quoted the only time he opened 1NT with a 6cM, his pard xferred to that major!!!!) :blink: Nice to see a World Class player considers it among the alternatives ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
