Trinidad Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 The answer depends on your system in second seat. In my case, my partner could have opened on 10/11 points. She could have shown a weak two in hearts or in spades, a weak hand with both majors or a weak hand with five spades and a 4+ minor. This means that this is an easy pass for me. I just don't expect to get a plus score here. But if you play Roth-Stone in second hand, against opponents who open on any junk, you can be pretty sure that partner has a decent hand. Then you could open. Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Pass. I might open 3♣ if my clubs were a bit better, but with this hand I'm likely to go down in 3♣ some of the time, in addition to the risk of opponents finding a spade fit.

neilkaz Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'll pass also. Too much risk of being outbid in a pointed suit and PD won't hold enough perfectas to make game a good bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 It's a lot more of a 4th seat opener than the x KQxxx Qxx Axxx in the other thread IMO. More shape, more aces, and more likelihood we have game compared to the other hand along with less likelihood the opponents have game. 1♣ for me.

mtvesuvius Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I think this is a 1♣ opener, however I'm not very happy with it. Give partner xxx KQJx xxx Kxx and game is ice, I'll lose 3 when I have to chance to win 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I think this is a 1♣ opener, however I'm not very happy with it. Give partner xxx KQJx xxx Kxx and game is ice, I'll lose 3 when I have to chance to win 12. Give partner that and the opponents are also either cold or 1 off for 4♠ :PBut I'm still opening this anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm glad I play 2♣ as a WEAK 2 :) Without it, it's either pass (if I need a swing) or 3♣ (under more normal circumstances). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
