gwnn Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 xvoidAKJT8QT97653 All vulnerable IMP's 1st seat. You can open 2NT for the minors, 5-9, if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotShot Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Do we have Minorwood or Voidwood in our agreements?Yes => 2NT followed by Minorwood/Voidwood seems like a good plan. No => 1♣ followed by cheapest of:- a ♦ bid up to 4♦ -- 4NT pick a minor- 5♣ if everything else is not possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I am not as confident as the others that bidding 1 Club / n diamonds will solve my problems. Opening 1 ♣ and rebidding diamonds sounds like a strong two suiter. My hand is only strong if we have a fit in a minor, else it is a horror. So I go with 2 NT and will bid 4 Club if possible. I had tried a 4 NT opening if this had shown both minors- but this is asking for specific aces for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 4NT is indeed not available unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I am not confident that showing my hand to my partner would solve my problem on this hand. Failing that, I open 1♣ with the intention of rebidding diamonds. If the opponents force the auction to the 4 level before I get to mention diamonds, I will bid 4NT. This hand is good, not great, until I get support from partner. With voluntary support of either minor my hand becomes very powerful.

gwnn Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 5♦ probably makes, 5♣ is doubled and goes down twice. Other table is in 4♣-1, opps will not bid too much since the hand is a relative misfit. Partner has something like AJxxx KJxx 9xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRW Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 1♣. I play the 2N gadget - but this hand is way too strong for that - marginally in high cards, but a lot in terms of extra ♣cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Open 2NT and rebid 5♣ on your own later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
