rogerclee Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 IMPs, All White, Third Seat ♠8x ♥xxx ♦9xxxx ♣xxx 2♠-(P)-? If it matters to you, you are playing an open swiss against total beginners (will blitz them 53-0 in 6 boards). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 pass? it's all white, and against total beginners. They need to get to game first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 2N asking followed by stopping in 3♠ sometimes works well against beginners. Still, I like to have a 3 card raise for that, but a total bust might be good enough to preempt with since they must have game+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Of course pass against total beginners, they will probably miss their slam anyway so why invite disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Pass. If I already leading big, why would I want tomake the whole thing random. Simple advice from the old ages: If you outclassyour opponents dont psych, play normal. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Yes pass. Don't tap the fishbowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I'd pass against anybody. Joking around will likely be very costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Okay, I am not really proud of it, but I 3♠'d at the table -- long tank by LHO, then all pass. 3♠-4 was win 7 when our partners were kicking themselves for not bidding the obvious slam.

Guest Jlall Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Just remember bad habits die hard :) Wouldn't surprise me if you made the best bid against your actual opps though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
