MarkDean Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 1♣ for me. With one partner I play a 3NT opening asks for specific aces, so I would try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 6C for me, partner produces 2 aces and out, easy game. Looks like one of those decks where everyone is making a lot, so even if 6C doesnt make, it should be a good sac (ps. I'm bidding 7 if partner doesnt double a slam by LHO and praying partner doesnt have a non trump ace) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 1C. The chance that partner has two aces is large enough not to open 5C and small enough not to open 6C. I like the 3NT opening, for this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se12sam Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I play 4NT as specific ace asking, so that bid does not help here. I think the downside of opening 1♣ can be that we are outbid, but I'd still open 1♣ and rebid it at a higher level later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I only have 12 points including a singleton king, but the club suit is very good, so I will upgrade and open 1♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 OK, so it would seem that the common consensus is to open 1♣. 1.1♣ - (1♠) - 2♥ - (Pass)? 2.1♣ - (4♠) - 5♥ - (Pass)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 It's not. I'll open 5♣ and consider it wtp :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascade Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I only have 12 points including a singleton king, but the club suit is very good, so I will upgrade and open 1♣. The clubs aren't that good it is a broken sequence. I might pass ... but the last time I tried that with a 10-bagger well you can say I am still waiting for the bidding to get back to me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the first auction I would bid 4♣, which seems natural to me, though maybe the scientists disagree. On your second auction 6♣ seems very obvious.

mtvesuvius Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I figured 6♣ was obvious on the 2nd one, but on the first, I'm not sure what's best... I just figured I'd take advantage of an interesting hand to give a few sample auctions... How about this one? 1♣ - (2♠) - 3♦ - (P)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
