gnasher Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 When I play equal level conversion, it applies only to converting clubs to diamonds. With a five card major, I just overcall it. On both of your hands, I would overcall 1♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Ditto. Of course easy to say what applies when I play ELC because I never play it, but I used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 - What is the minimum you need for an ELCD? Playing strength to the level you force the bidding if pard bids your short suit. Example: (1♠) .. dbl (pass) 2♦(pass) 2♥ = about 14-15 hcp or less with compensating shape (e.g. a 4♥/6♣) But, yeah, as said, with a 5 card suit that you can bid at level 1, an overcall usually preferable.
