skjaeran Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'd not overcall with this combination of sub-minimum overall strength and a terrible suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 my vocabulary is very limited, so i'll just go with "bad" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerclee Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think my suit is way too horrible to bid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finally17 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Unfortunately all appropriate adjectives I can come up with would probably require censorship by the mods. And since I have repeatedly expressed my displeasure for this, I won't tempt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Your hand has a ton of playing strength opposite a fit. Random 8 counts with 4 hearts could easily produce a game, and any hand with 5 hearts you want to be in there. Your hand has no playing strength if it's a misfit, and a real danger of going for a number. I would pass and hope for 1S p 1N p 2C X (I can dream can't I?) where it's safer to get in.

whereagles Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 No need to bid on this one. Unless it comes back to you in 5♣, you can always butt-in later without distorting your shape/strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 No need to bid on this one. Unless it comes back to you in 5♣, you can always butt-in later without distorting your shape/strength. So, if the auction is: 1♠-P-2♣-P; 4♣-? you're entering the auction? I don't like 2♥. But, I'm not confident that I will be able to act later, or that I'll even want to act later. Edit: added "not".

cherdano Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 2♥, wtp? Red vs white? (Just asking...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Dealer: East Vul: N/S Scoring: IMP ♠ AJ74 ♥ K7432 ♦ K852 ♣ [space] RHO opens 1♠. How about bidding 2♥? IMO risky = 10, foollhardy = 9, brave = 8, insane = 4 IMO _P = 10, 2♥ = 7, 2♠ = 4 It would be more interesting at pairs at green, but at teams at red, the suit is a bit thin for enterprize. I asume that overcalls are wide-ranging. I normally play that a 2♥ overcall would be intermediate, so that option would not be avaiable..

whereagles Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 So, if the auction is: 1♠-P-2♣-P; 4♣-? you're entering the auction? If that auction happens, I'm glad I kept my mouth shut. They're about to go down on 5/6♣ on bad breaks :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 my vocabulary is very limited, so i'll just go with "bad" Yes, it should have been posted in the Water Cooler so that we could have used appropriate adjectives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Normally I call these calls: dumm, erfolglos, idiotisch, peinlich, lächerlich, krass, dämlich, voll hohl, absurd, hyperaktiv, ungewöhnlich, if it had worked: Inspiriert, aggressiv, kämpferisch, visionär, jugendlich, aktiv, erfolgreich, wunderbar, vorausschauend, Your translation abilties are far better then mine and luckily you do understand both languages.

pclayton Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I would pass and hope for 1S p 1N p 2C X (I can dream can't I?) where it's safer to get in. Isn't this the infamous West Texas Penalty Double? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdano Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 What????? sorry, what is not an adjective, but the word crossing my mind was 'unbelivable'. Will you believe me Bob Hamman overcalled 2♥ with this? (In a practice BBO session, playing with Chris Compton.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I was at dinner with bob tonight and told him about this thread and he laughed. Then Petra was like "BOB HOW CAN YOU OVERCALL WITH THAT?!" and he said basically you're just betting on which hand has the hearts...heh.
