Codo Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 If you bid with this hand as well as a full opener with a good suit, how is partner supposed to know what to do when he holds a good hand? I guess you hope he'll get the picture when you keep correcting anything he does (including doubling the opponents) back to your suit. Let's just hope this happens before you reach the stratosphere. If he doubles 6 Club, I am still happy and will pass. If he doubles 5 Club, this is critical. I will bid 5 Heart and say something like: Preempts works, sorry partner after I wrote my -500 instead of + 500. But he will understand. My hand is a full opener because of the great shape..And if I had a hand with this shape AND more values, I had bid more then 3 Heart.

han Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Clear 3H imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill1157 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Couldn't you pass and bid hearts on the next round?3♥ looks ok with a conservative partner, but it looks like 4♥ might get you to a grand off 3 or 4 aces (depending on what form of blackwood is played).

kenrexford Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 jdonn, don't worry about picking on me, I have really tough skin, and thanks for the clarification. Besides you didn't tell me I was stupid, you just told me I was wrong. ;) He always tells me that I'm stupid. LOL Actually, that's not true. He actually usually tells me that I know better and am trying to stir up controversy because I have a sick mind. That might have a wee bit of truth to it. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
