jtfanclub Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Um, smile, pass, and next hand. Especially at IMPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 pass no problem yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 8 HCP and I want my PD's to strain to open good 11 counts (even if somewhat flattish) and I want them to open all but the raunchiest 12 counts (ie quacky and stiff K they can pass). I doubt we have anything if our PD opens aggressively so I pass at IMPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 IF playing with Al Roth I would consider opening 2D. :wacko: Do not want to miss out on a slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 I'd probably open it 1D, really weird hand though I've never seen this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 I'm opening for sure. Why can't we just have game? Partner has spade support and two aces, bam. 1♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Pass, comes two points short of the rule of 15 so it's not close. If we play Muiderberg I'll think about it for a few secs but still pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Points schmoints. We could still have an easy game and I've got the master suit. "Obvious" 1♦ opening. Partner's got a balanced 10-count, so he'll have at least some support for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 1♠, but only if I think we are better than opponents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 1♠, but I don't consider this obvious at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Look at the opponents (particularly LHO) to see if either is showing signs of anxiety. If not, it's clear to open IMO, and I prefer 1♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 I am scared ... the last time I opened a lightish distributional hand in 4th seat - similar to the example hand in this thread but 4-0-6-3 distribution with two or three more high card points - my left hand opponent who had passed as dealer jumped to 4♥. It made :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Ill open 1D too. Someone didnt open with a 12 count is 1st or 2nd. If its pard, its probably because he's 4333, so I feel confident we dont have a misfit. If pard regularly opens 11 counts with 4H and 5C I also think we have a good chance of a fit and maybe a game. By the way one of my regular pards regularly passes 4333 13 counts, so I absolutely cant pass this. By the way, since I think pard has a good hand I think I'll be able to bid my suits without getting passed, so theres no reason for a 1S opening.

Halo Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 In my jurisdiction I have a rule of 19 opening and I have spades. Almost whenever I can, I open. Here 1D is clear for me because I don't falsify suit length unless I absolutely have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
