Hanoi5 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 All white:♠AKQ97532♥A♦Q7♣63 If you open 1♠ partner bids 2 hearts If you open 2♣ partner bids 2 hearts Is there any other opening? If you open 4♠ partner will probably Pass. What do you do after your partner's response in each case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I think this hand is an obvious 1♠ and then 3♠ over the hidden reply. It is about an ace and a queen too strong for 4♠ and an ace and a jack too weak for 2♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Some might want to open 4♦ on this, but for me there are too many side values. 2♣ is fine if you can stop below game in your system, but in SAYC you might be too weak. Playing a strong 2♣ with direct 2nd negative, it's easy to simply sign off after the 2nd negative response. Otherwise: 1♠ - 2♥ - 3♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 1♠ then 3♠. The hand doesn't seem suited for a 2♣ or a 4♠ opening like gwnn suggests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I would hate a 2♣ opening with a onesuiter with 15 HCPS.So it is 3 NT or 4♦ if you play this stuff. (Some do, to me this is a perfect 3 NT opening, but this is non standard) Under the given methods, it is 1 ♠ - 3♠ and you have perfectly described your hand. BTW. This sounds like a real BI question. :)Second choice sayc and 2/1Third choice: Interesting bridge hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 This is an almost prototypical NAMYATS hand. I don't have Preempts from A to Z handy; however, this matches up very nicely with their description of a 4♦ opening. If I'm not playing this type of specialized preempt, I'd probably open 1♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dake50 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 What is my solid suit with side A/void opening? To ask cue A or deny A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 1♠ first, 2♣ is awful. Then 3♠, what's next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochinko Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 What is wrong with 1♠ - 4♠? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdanno Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 What is wrong with 1♠ - 4♠? I think that would show a substantially weaker hand. E.g. make a small spade to a club, the diamond queen a small one, and you would get a maximum for a 4♠ rebid IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 What is wrong with 1♠ - 4♠? Partner made a 2/1 bid, so you are in slam territory. So, despite the fact that I cannot construct a hand where a 4 ♠ would make any sense, it must surely be a weaker hand then a 3♠ bid. 4 Spade had been the obvious choice after 1 ♠ 1 NT.

ovncylmz Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 gazilli is good here, 1sp, if 1nt comes 2c, then 4sp: long spades, better than 1sp-1nt-4sp, but worse than 1s-1nt-2c-X-3sp:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 1♠-2♣-3♠ is perfect. The way most people play this spades are absolutely trumps and opener is showing extra values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oof Arted Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 :D Don't know SAYC but this should be easy for Acol although it misses the official criterion 2♠ (8 playing tricks with ♠'s as Trumps :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONEferBRID Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 1♠-2♣-3♠ is perfect. The way most people play this spades are absolutely trumps and opener is showing extra values. And if Responder's 2/1 bid is game force, then the 3S-jump sets trump and demands cuebidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
