jillybean Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Dealer: South Vul: All Scoring: IMP ♠ AJ754 ♥ ♦ J8543 ♣ Q84 West North East South - - - Pass Pass 1♥ Pass ? I'd like a method to be able to open these hands but, having passed what do I bid now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 1♠? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 If you would like to open hands like these you should use the Tartan/Muiderberg (or whatever they're called in your area) 2M openings showing 5M and 4+m (maybe always 55 vul), treating this hand as a 2-suiter, combined with the Multi 2♦. Having passed I can see no problem now - you've got an obvious 1♠ response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Muiderberg does the job pretty well. Now an easy 1♠ ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrexford Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 For what it is worth, a friend of mine likes to play something here of interest rather than fit-jumps. I'm not sold yet, but maybe someone else will be. The idea is for jumps to show two-suiters. 1♥-P-2♠ would show spades and a minor; 2NT would be minors. 5-5's. Still not sold on the idea.

TheoKole Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 You could also use a weak 2 method of showing 5 ♠ and 4+ or 5+ of a minor suit depending on the vulnerability and agressiveness of your system. With regular partners, I play a weak 2 opening of a major promises exactly 5 cards in the major and 4+ cards in a minor suit. If the minor is a 4 card suit it will be pretty good in honor cards. A 6 card major suit - weak opening, is opened with a 2 ♦ Multi bid. Good luck, Theo :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
