Elianna Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 You're playing Standard American as a basic system, plus gazilli. (Basically, the only reason gazilli might apply is that you can't rebid clubs at the two-level, but you have a rebid that shows 5-5 in the round suits with 14-16 hcp if it matters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 1♣ WTP ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Nothing could be more obvious than opening 1♣. So what is the point of this question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I am 100% certain that Steve Robinson opens 1♥. Surely he is not the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I am 100% certain that Steve Robinson opens 1♥. Surely he is not the only one. The question was assuming standard American :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I am 100% certain that Steve Robinson opens 1♥. Surely he is not the only one. My thoughts are.... Lets see..I have a nice 6 carder in ♣ and a wretched 5 carder in ♥ and we may get outbid in ♠ here. Which suit do I want PD to lead ? Which suit is worth competing to a higher level in ? As much as I respect Steve's game, if he wants to open 1♥ here, I'll leave it to him and the other few %. .. neilkaz .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I am 100% certain that Steve Robinson opens 1♥. Surely he is not the only one. True, I know someone in Ann Arbor who likes to open 1H with hands like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I am 100% certain that Steve Robinson opens 1♥. Surely he is not the only one. Of the question was "what do you open with".... not what does Steve Robinson open with it (or what is standard, or what should the opening bid be). I actually play 2♥ opening bids shows hearts + clubs and minimumish opening bid. Even playing that, I would open this 1♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I am 100% certain that Steve Robinson opens 1♥. Surely he is not the only one. If you look at his responses to its your call or WBL solvers you'll see that he makes weird calls in a variety of other situations too ♠43♥AKQ542♦----♣A10742 For instance I posted a while back WWYD with the above hand after 1♥-(p)-1♠-(2♦). This got a unanimous or nearly so 3♣ here, but he gave 3♦ (his bid) and 4♥ the top two scores, arguing that you must force game with this hand.

benlessard Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 1H---(P)----1S-----(2D)??? xxAKQxxx-----Axxxx Forcing to game isnt weird. A NF 3C is not an alternative for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
