A popular choice?

[Robert]

Hi everyone

 

2D*=Multi(my 2H bid shows a three suiter with short Ds, Precision style)

 

100% content.

 

I played fairly solid weak twos in my early years. A KS partner changed that style to 9-11HCP and 2/3 top honors. We did not open 2M that often, however, you certainly knew what partner held when he did bid.

 

My suits/ranges have fallen quite a bit over the decades. I now open weak two bids with side four(five!) card suits. Roth type shapes and Meckwell style ranges.

 

My Precision base methods use a rebid like 1D-1H-2C-2H as showing 6 cards and 9+-12HCP. We invite while staying at the two level. This requires a weak jump shift on 0-9HCP and a six card suit. Since we play limited openings, the style is very aggressive and seems to work. :)

 

Regards,

Robert

You hold in the second seat, as South, in a team match:

East,Both,IMP,

♠42♥JT9643♦AJ82♣3

Do you open 2♥? And how do you feel about it? Are you satisfied with your choice?

2nd seat Red @ IMPs is just about the most cautious place to preempt in.

 

My pds are going to expect a better hand (7 losers, not 8) and a better suit:

xx.AT9xxx.QJxx.x or something similar for a minimum 2♥ bid in this situation.

 

Not the OP hand. Pass.
