kgr Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 (2M-Weak)-5♣-(p)-?(2♦-Multi)-5♣-(P)-? Is 5♣ preemptive here. 2♦ can include strong variants..Is 5♣ over 2♦ more preemptive then over 2M-weak?..Or should 5♣ be constructive (you don't want to DBL followed by bidding ♣ because opps could preempt too much)?What would you need to bid 6♣ after your partner did overcall 5♣?

kgr Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 ..Was this question too easy or too difficult? Or is there no 'standard' for 5♣ here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (2M-Weak)-5♣-(p)-?(2♦-Multi)-5♣-(P)-? Is 5♣ preemptive here. No. It's to make, taking into account pard will usually have 7-8 hcp. Expect 9-10 playing tricks for the bid and a very distributional hand. 2♦ can include strong variants..Is 5♣ over 2♦ more preemptive then over 2M-weak? No, because 95%+ of the time the multi is weakish. (If the strong variants came up like 30%+ of the time, you might have to make some changes.) ..Or should 5♣ be constructive (you don't want to DBL followed by bidding ♣ because opps could preempt too much)? Preemption isn't a big issue here. With a strong hand, you should prefre 5♣ to double when it is a more desciptive bid. What would you need to bid 6♣ after your partner did overcall 5♣? The best hand would be fit + aces + control of opps suit. It's hard to tell, really, but one thing you should NOT do is to raise with the same 7-8 hcp already took into account :) Here's what might be a good raise to 6: (2♠) 5♣ (pass) ..?

helene_t Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 If you double a natural 2M, there is a strong suggestion that you have something in the other major so would probably bid 5m with some hands that would have started with a dbl against multi. So maybe 5m over multi should not be particularly strong. Without discussion I would expect it to show the same playing strength as over a natural 2M, though. Btw agree with Whereagles.

dake50 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 5C bidder must assume 1+trick to be reasonably sure not shut out too often. 5C claims 1+ trick of making. 6C needs at least A better than 1-trick and consider why no cue first? No control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
