jillybean Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Dealer: South Vul: EW Scoring: IMP ♠ 5 ♥ Q8 ♦ AKJ942 ♣ AJ82 What is your plan here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaur Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I would open 1♦ and bid 3♦ over any 1M, but I have this sneaking feeling that you need a stronger hand in SA.In the danish beginner system (an Acol'ish variant) this is clearly worth 3♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I'm not so adamant as a certain partner I have, but yeah 2♣ looks right especially since it avoids picking 2♦ or 3♦ for a hand like this that is right in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 This is an automatic 1♦...2♣ for me. If partner makes a preference to 2♦ I'll raise to 3♦. The latter is absolutely obvious if partner's first response is 1♥, not as obvious after a 1♠ response, but I'd still raise 2♦ to 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 In the danish beginner system (an Acol'ish variant) this is clearly worth 3♦ No it's not. It's a 2♣ rebid, 12-18 at least 5-4 in the minors. 3♦ would deny four clubs although you can choose to ignore them if they are tiny.

Is it a 3♦ over 1♥ or 1♠ now in Bridgevejen? ♠ 5 ♥ Q82♦ AKJ942 ♣ AJ8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 There is a major difference between this hand and the prior hand, beyond the reverse problem. That is, if people still do courtesy corrections when they are supposed to. Or, has that also passed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a 3♦ over 1♥ or 1♠ now in Bridgevejen? ♠ 5 ♥ Q82♦ AKJ942 ♣ AJ8 Since we do not have 2½♦ available, I would say 3♦ over 1♥ and 2♦ over 1♠. After a 1♥ response the hand is considerably better than after 1♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 What does this auction show: 1♦-P-1M-P-2♣-P-2♦-P-3♦? It seems that this auction shows what I have. If not, what does it show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foo Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 South,EW,IMP, ♠5♥Q8♦AKJ942♣AJ82 What is your plan here? I like Roland and Ken's posts here. I also note that you always have 2 ways to bid 64's where the 4 is lower ranking than the 6:a= foo, foo, barb= foo, bar, foo As Roland noted, considerations as to suit quality matter as much as overall hand strength; but for the most part "a" is the route for weaker hands and "b" is the route for stronger hands. (and I'm very glad Jilly did not tell us that she opened this 1♦ and then rebid it 3♣... :o ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about B/I-level, but above that courtesy preferences are still in extencive use - at least where I play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
