jdonn Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 How come ELC isn't more widely used? Is it becaus eif teh opps jack up the bidding and Advancer (the pard of the Dbler) bids at the 3 level, and you correct from ♣ to ♦ you may be too high? Why not use ELC? What are its disadvantages? In your experience how ha sit not worked out ok? That is one reason. Also, how about that you might want to double and bid on a good hand with diamonds! Now you have made auctions on that type of hand much much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Is ELC (Equal Level Conversion) not widely used by experts? In the direct seat. ELC is frequently used with some other nonsense like top and bottom cues and special jump overcalls to show hearts and a minor. Vintage Max Hardy stuff that most pairs have thrown out.

Guest Jlall Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thanks for reminding me about that thread, Justin. It is http://forums.bridgebase.com/index.php?showtopic=6062&st=0 - we hold 9xx AKJ KQ97x J8 over RHO's 1♠ opening. thx for finding this, cant believe it was 3 years ago lol. I am not surprised by my initial comment in that thread but my views have definitely changed, probably as a direct result of this thread.
