precpj Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Since 4th seat 2H and 2S can not be preemptive, is this hand a good candidate for opening 2H AXX AQJ987 A97 X thought I read the writing up in more than one bridge writing. However in the field everybody open 1H and my pick up partner was not too cool to my 2H bid Your thoughs ? pls Precpj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Depends on how strong you play 2H, I play it as a good 10 to 12, so this would be too good. I wouldn't expect anybody to open 2H with this powerhouse but I've seen stranger things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy4hoop Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Similar to the previous post, I see merit in playing this bid as 10 to any hand that would not accept game opposite a limit raise (6 cards, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmunte1 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 You should plan your bidding ahead, 1♥-3♥ will describe perfectly this hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 A 2H opening in 4th seat, usually showes a min. opener with 6 hearts.For most players, the hand you gave would be a bid toostrong to be considered a mn. opener.So, I doubt you have read a book, which recommendsopening 2H with this hand. Additional: Playing with a pick up partner, you should tryto avoid unusal bids, because you are risking misunderstandings, go ahead do it anyway, but dont besurprised, if the results you get are poor. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
