TimG Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Assuming I am 2245, I respond 1N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Me too. Edit: Oh wait, no inverted minors, then this is an obvious 2D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el tombo Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Since I open most 11 counts, 3D hasn't got much use for me as 10-12 points so I would elect 3D as I am a maximum for my previous bidding and I also play Acol with 4 card majors so partner must hold 5 diamonds or 15+ points (since he would open 1C with 4-4 in the minors and 4 of a major with 4 of a major and 4 diamonds) and would open 1N with 12-14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I dislike 1NT a lot.Either 2D or 3D, depending on how you value the hand (I don't really mind either). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 This hand is a square peg. A limit raise is an overbid and a preemptive raise is an underbid. I like 2♦, not because it is the best description, but it gives us the chance to play 2♦ opposite drek. Agree with Clee - I'm not crazy about IM's BPH either. I also like a 3rd raise in the minor. This hand falls into the 'mixed raise' category and Gnome and I would bid 2♠. I know these aren't played commonly, or by the poster, but I don't like a really wide range for the double raise.

cherdano Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Given the agreements 2♦ sounds perfect. Playing inverted minors I would probably bid 3♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASkolnick Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I play an extended version of the minors since I play weak NT. We use 2m+1 as a mixed raise with shortness, 2m+2 as a mixed raise with no shortness. I actually get hands that want to raise 1m to 2 of a minor.
