inquiry Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I think pass might work out ok and I can compete later. But I guess if I was playing 2♠ as intermediate, that is what I would open. If 2♠ was a weaktwo, then I would open 1♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchett Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I would pass, I think 2♠ is too commital to strain when I have a weak main suit and a 5 card side suit, but it could work out if it's their hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I would also pass, 2S is possible but there are a lot of flaws for a red imp 2S here. edit: ok just read the poll, 2S is a minimum opening bid with spades? I'm not sure how to play that convention or whether this qualifies or not, but I'd probably still pass. Again, I think it's just too flawed for a preempt (in this case multi).

whereagles Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 yucky hand. pass and bid something later, I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I'll use the intermediate 2♠ now that it's available. Without that toy, I'd probably pass. At least in theory. Might fabricate some number of spades in practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Weak 2. Once you accept making the call with a bad suit, but compensating shape, you always will. I remember Justin discussing how he opens in 3rd seat on just about anything because it works. I have a similar experience with weak 2's like this, and I look forward to the opportunity to make the call, especially when I think the other table(s) won't.

Fluffy Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 1♠ for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zende_ru Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think 2!S is better. Because if partner answers with 2nt dealer can show !D . By this way it will be best fit. But it woud be dangerous in zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Pass, nothing fits and I if I dont havea bid to show the 2-suiter, I usually pass. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Multi to show a weak 2. I have had occasional partners criticise bids like this, but I think too rigid a view of preempts limits their frequency and effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halo Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Interesting to see the problem results. Personally I was closer to to treating it as 1♠, than upgrading to 10-13 intermediate 2♠, but I didn't really like either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
