microcap Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 [hv=s=s96haj965dcaq10765]133|100|[/hv] First hand at any scoring or colors. Of course, partner will respond 1♠ to whatever you open, creating rebid issues. Do you a) Open 1♣ then rebid 2♣ :blink: Open1♣ then rebid 2♥ c) Open 1♥ If you think the hand isn't good enough for option b, how much more would you need either in distribution or high cards? Thanks to all!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 1C-2C, right on the border though maybe with a doubleton spade 1C 2H is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 1♣-2♣. Give me the ♠Q and I'd bid 1♣-2♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 1H 2C. Don't want to lose the H suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 1♣ 2♣ looks good. Partner is almost sure to bid again then I can show my surprise. If the auction looked to be more competitive I would reverse instead, like 1♣ P 1♦ 1♠ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 1 ♣ 2 ♥ borderline of course but I really like my hand and still have three chances for a fit- at least a 5-2 fit. If we play walsh, I would change my approach. I don´t believe that we can handle 1♣ 1 ♠ 2 ♣ 2 ♦ in this case well, so I better open 1 Heart.

Cascade Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I almost always open my longest suit with these hands. Having said that I understand those that would prefer to open the major. Occasionally I will make an exception with touching suits or if there is a disparity between the suit qualities with the shorter suit being much stronger. I also am willing to reverse into the major with marginal values. With all of the honours in the long suits this hand is getting close but just a little short of the values I would usually like for a reverse - another useful queen and i would definitely reverse. Even change my jack for a queen and I would probably be willing to reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi, I would open 1C, and depending on mood,the sun and the stars, would either rebid2C or 2H. My regular partner would always rebid 2H. If you replace the J with the Q, I would certainlyopen 1C followed by a 2H bid, not sure if thiswould be my min. req. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
