awm Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Suppose partner opens a weak 1NT. You hold a balanced hand, no five-card major, and zero points. Your RHO passes. Do you bid or pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 If white on red, partner opening first seat, it seems imminently reasonable to make a call, although clearly for effect rather than science. The probable election is a simple 2♣ Stayman, whatever the shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Running from the rough!!! Get out get out get out.... Ok, if i have long clubs or diamonds, i would pass, waiting for the double, then run. But if have some diamonds, hearts and spades, i bid 2C and pass whatever partner bids.

Guest Jlall Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I always pass unless 4-4 majors. or (34)42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 If I got a 13-14 point hitch from RHO, I might try a tactical 3N at MPs. It will be very tough for them to double. At IMPs, I want damage control and I might not trust my read anyway. I'll do what I can to try to run out to our 4-4 after the x, but I will generally pass unless I have a way to show 4-4 in the majors.

Echognome Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I always pass unless 4-4 majors. or (34)42 Agree with this, except for I'll add the obvious "or a 5+ major". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Mixed strategy is best - including the occasional transfer to a 4 card major: you would be surprised at the extent to which that can muck them (or us) up... Not infrequent Stayman with the right distribution ... regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 i might s/o in a 4cM maybe maybe. but pd has the right to super-accept, so only rarely. especially at green and holding spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I always did, thats why I need 2D / 2H / 2S as natural. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
