gwnn Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 JT8xxxx xx x AKx RHO deals and opens 1♥, we're favorable and it's imps (MBC advanced opps). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 3S or 1S, never 2 or 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 3♠. But it could lead to a very bad result, given that you don't want a spade lead and you have 2 defensive tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 3♠ for me, no doubt. I prefer to have this suit for a preempt than Axxxxxx. I dispute that we don't want a spade lead. If they end in hearts we are on lead. If they end in notrump we do want a spade lead with a 7 card suit and two outside entries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Very uncharecteristically, I'm going with a 1♠ bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I'll go with 1 this time. I hate preempting with an outside AK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Only 1 or 3 are possible IMO.I prefer 3, but can live with 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 3 just seems so normal. What is the benefit of bidding 1? We're hoping for what? 4S is the only other reasonable alternative imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 one...for sure....never 3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 1 ♠ Maybe I will adopt a line where I am allowed to bid 3 Spade with these kind of hands in the future. But I still like my preempts to hold more strength in the long suit then outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blofeld Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 This looks a normal 3♠ overcall. 4 is too rich for me, even at these colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 OK suppose it goes 1♥-1♠-4♥-4♠X-p-5♥-pp-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Dbl. This probably goes down.. lol. Got 2 tricks and an easy lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFA Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 3♠, 4♠ in a Friday night rubber B) .I don't like 1♠. We have so many tricks on our own that we'll desperately want to bid again (over 4♥ for instance). The slow route will only make life easier for the bad guys.
