han Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I have 5+ most of the time. Partner will bid over my 1M most of the time. I would say it shows 4+ and is NF because it is not very rare for me to have 4 and it is quite common for partner to pass it. If the auction gets highly competitive then partner will likely play me for 5+. I think this fits well with the overcalling style I'm trying to use.

EricK Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 It is not generally a good idea to make very light overcalls of 1♦ over 1♣. They don't take up much room (in fact they can give the opps more options) and rarely lead to a good save. If you believe this and are in the habit of opening fairly light, a 1♦ overcall will look very like a 1♦ opening (but better defined in terms of length). In that case, it must make some sort of sense to treat the 1♦ as if it were an opening and play systems on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
