matmat Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 1♠ for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 4 losers? I'm torn between 2♣, 1♠ and 4♠. Probably too good for 4♠ and partner might yell at me for 2♣ so I guess 1♠ it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 1♠ and a BIG WTP 30 ZARs with no upgrades so surely you can't pass .. no rebid issues and the world doesn't have enuf drugs for 2♣ Those who preempt ..I, as usual ask, what are you preempting against ? and hope you miss a black suit slam, preferably a grand.

rogerclee Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 1♠, non-problem. I am not sure what is dumber, opening this 2♣ strong artificial or opening this 2♣ 11-15 with 6+♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I don't think 4S is the worst bid ever, but it's pretty bad. I think 1S is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 1S. Once in awhile I'll open hands like this 4S. Its not as sick as people make it out to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get too caught up in HCP when you are 6-6, just bid your hand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catatonic Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 1 club , then rebid spades a few times ; imperative in my view for pt to understand that only black values are any good with my hand if you open a spade and next hand bids 4 red and pt doubles , what then ?open a club and rebid spades at whatever is required then pt has the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Definitely open 1S and rebid 3C. Then 4C, and then 4S if room. Rebidding 2S with this 6-6 hand is criminal. If I open 1C and then bid spades a couple of times my partner will expect me to hold longer clubs then spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 The old discussion what to do with spades and clubs again? I really don't care much about the opening bid here, but I would bid 1 Club with my partner and 1 Spade with pick ups, because they don't know that I will do so with clubs as long as spades. But I will rebid my second suit as long as possible, no way that we or they play NT or a red suit below the 5. level. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcLight Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 While this certainly has playing sterngth, why is 4♠ so terrible?The opps may have a save in 4 or 5♥ or 5♦.4♠ is likely to make. 6 spades/clubs requires a lot from pard. I would bid 4♠ expecting to make.This also prevents the opps from finding a save.And they may have a slam too, though unlikely. >Those who preempt ..I, as usual ask, what are you preempting against ? and hope you miss a black suit slam, preferably a grand. Opps may have 9 or 10 cards in a red suit and bid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 4S is not terrible at all. However I would open 1S and rebid 2S, not 3C as the hand lacks the high card strength for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Open 1♠ then bid clubs. I expected to see most posters take the normal action of opening 1♠ and rebidding clubs, with a handful of 4♠ openers as the only variation. Wrong again. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Definitely open 1S and rebid 3C. Then 4C, and then 4S if room. Rebidding 2S with this 6-6 hand is criminal.

fromageGB Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 As Han said. I play a strongish weak 2, but this hand is too good and has to be opened 1♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
