jdonn Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Couple choices 1S - 4H 1S - 1N3D - 3H3S - 4H You really wouldn't open 2♣? That feels like more of a reflex not to do so, without noticing the huge strength of the hand. I think after 2♣, if north responds 4♥ that's where he will play, if north responds anything else south will insist on 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 South opens 2♣, North shows hearts at every possible opportunity, etc.. The only interesting decision is whether or not South is worth a bump to 5♥ with all those primes. Unless you play some special responses to 2♣, its hard to differentiate between AJ-8th and AQJT-7th.

Mbodell Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 There were only 6 tables, and admittedly the field wasn't that strong, but 4 of the 6 played at the 6 level (6♥, 6♠, and 6NT were all bid), one tried 7♥, and just one pair got out in game (4♠).

mike777 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I might try: 2c=2d!2s=3h3s=4h? 2d=random aces or kings, positive, game force. now when I bid 3h and 4H I have denied two of the top 3 honors. not sure what the difference is between: 2c=2nt positive in hearts compared to 2c=4h? who discusses that but perhaps this is a good example of 2c=4h? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
