jdonn Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 1♥ 2♥ and I don't think it's close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I think this is a clear 1♥...2♥ hand. Not close to a jump rebid to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Whatcha playing? If 1NT is non-forcing, you gotta bid 2♥. If you're playing SA with a forcing NT, I think you should still bid 2♥, because the range for 1NT tends to be lower. I don't think in either case it's close. Playing 2/1...I hate bidding 2♥ with these. It's very close to a 3♥ call to me, but at least on paper I'd bid 2♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgr Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 1H-1NT-2H for me.I play that 1H-1NT-2C asks partner to bid 2D with a minimum and describe with a maximum. I would bid 2C playing that and rebid H at minimum level over the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 1♥ 2♥ and I don't think it's close. 1♥ 3♥ and I don't think it's close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 1♥ - 2♥ and I don't think it's close, particularly in 4th seat when a 2♥ opening is up to a 13-count or so; that makes this route show a better hand than it does in other seats.

655321 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 1♥ then 2♥, but to me this is close. I agree the hand is not really worth a 3♥ rebid; on the other hand it is a lot stronger than many hands that would rebid 2♥... I am guessing the reason you did not force a 1♥ opening on us was to see if there are any 1NT openers. With a hand whose values are hard to describe, opening 1NT does have a lot going for it. Personally, I would not do it, but I do think it is a reasonable choice. (Frances, pretty sure we are in first seat.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 1♥ - 2♥ and I don't think it's close, particularly in 4th seat when a 2♥ opening is up to a 13-count or so; that makes this route show a better hand than it does in other seats. My thoughts, almost exactly. One of two fourth seat opening schemes makes sense to me. 1. Open 2♥ with many decent hands. That makes 1♥...2♥ look like 1♥...2.5♥. 2. Open 2♥ with "2.5♥" hands. That makes 1♥...2♥ weaker. Either way, this hand is a 2♥ opening or rebid, depending on style. It is not even close. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 The hand diagram tell us that we're south and dealer, thus in 1st seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Clear 1H.. 2H but it is close. Change a small heart into the jack and everybody would be bidding 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Clear 1H.. 2H but it is close. Change a small heart into the jack and everybody would be bidding 3. True if we had a minimum 3♥ bid we would all bid 3♥. When we have a maximum 2♥ bid we should bid 2♥. Good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 OK in first seat 1H then 2H but closer. For some reason I saw those dashes as passes, not enough sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 1♥ - 1N - 2♥. Fortunately we are in 4th chair where this shows 13-15 or so, since we could have 2♥'d with a little less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrexford Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Now that we all, or most of us, now know the actual auction... On some days I would make a weird decision to open this 1NT. On better days, I would open 1♥ and then rebid 2♣, planning to raise a correction of 2♥, if it happens, to 3♥ (or bid 3♥ after an "impossible" 2♠). On the best days, I just open 1♥ and rebid 2♥.

LOL Justin and I were talking about this yesterday, having an argument over whether you would open 1NT or bid 1♥ 2♣. No, I'm not kidding. I went out on a limb and said you might even rebid 2♣ if the minors were reversed. Back me up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
