rogerclee Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 1S. Why would I bid 2S on such a junky suit and 8 HCP outside my suit? Any scoring, any colors, any 1-level opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi, I dont see the auction, I guess Eastopened and I am South? 1S. Given the vulnerability, I am too strongfor 2S, and I am not prepared to bis 3S. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With kind regardsMarloweCorrected now; sorry.Reason I asked was a vu-graph commentator suggested 2 ♠ and went on to explain that 2♠ is better than 1♠ because ♠ suit is not good !!

pclayton Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 1♠. This looks nothing like a 2♠ call to me. Yeah I know the Zia-ites would preempt this hand expecting to score all their minor winners, but pard isn't a passed hand and will frequently misjudge.

whereagles Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Agree to 1♠, though on some occasions I might try 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 1S, no conditions whatsoever that would make me bid 2S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianshark Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 2♠ is ill-disciplined and misleading. 1♠ is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtfanclub Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Ummm...are you sure North wasn't dealer? Then I'd consider 2♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y66 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 1S re: 2S, agree with others who point out that pard will not expect that much stuff outside spades. Don't think the spade suit is a problem though (depends on your agreements). In Shanghai last year, Zia, Daniela Von Arnim and others, W/R, overcalled 1H with 2S with QT8432 2 KT97 T9. Daniela and others, W/W, did likewise with QT6543 J96 T85 T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniela and others, W/W, did likewise with QT6543 J96 T85 T.These hands are different, as they have some offence and little defence. I doubt if the Italians bid 2♠ on these hands. I wonder if the vugraph commentator was Australian? From what I've seen this is more common there. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
