rogerclee Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 1♠, 2♣ seriously did not even occur to me, and I've been fielding Han's 2♣ openers for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 1♠, I guess I'm missing something as usual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Playing with my regular partners it's a pretty easy 1♠. It's possible, but extremely unlikely that we're going to miss something after this start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 1S?! I would have bet you'd open this 2N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 1S?! I would have bet you'd open this 2N. Lol where do people come up with these reputations? And even if he were going to treat it as balanced I guarantee he would open 2♣ and call it 22-23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I open 2♣ on way more hands than is bboforums standard. But this hand is a 1♠ opener for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if he were going to treat it as balanced I guarantee he would open 2♣ and call it 22-23. That's where I was going with this... 2♣...2NT shows the strength right.

petergreat Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 20 points, nice 6-card suit, I open 2♣ definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 1S. If we can play 2S after a 2C opening, I would go with 2S,but I am pretty sure, that you wont be able to stop in 2S. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I opened it 2N :) It worked for a strange reason; pard had ♥KT98xx (2=6=3=2). Not sure if she would have 1N'd over 1♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean it worked. Game is very close and could easily go down, and partner would be nuts not to respond with KT98xx of hearts anyway.

Apollo81 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 1♠, and rebid 3NT over a 1NT response. Dare I say WTP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I would open 1♠. 2NT is the only other call worthy of consideration. The hand is not even close to a 2♣ opening bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Not even close" is definitely an overstatement, I would open 2♣ for sure if you gave me the ♦K instead of the ♦Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Interesting that many consider this a 1♠ opener and others think this is a 2♣ --> 2N opening. I'm not that proud of 2N btw. On most days, I would echo Noble's sentiments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 2♣? Lol. How many tricks is that ♦Qx worth opposite a partner who passes 1♠?. Seriously, 2NT is another style and maybe works. But you could give me ♠Q and I would not open 2♣ either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
