gwnn Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 AxQTxxxAJxAxx 1♥-2♠-3♥-p?? Unfav. You have agreed something similar to the agreement recently described by gnasher, i.e. partner bids 4♥ on most limit raises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Looks like 1NT to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Clear pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) I must have miscounted for my opening... Although I've been doing that lately... :) I'm passing here though... Partner needs a really good hand. xx AKxx x xxxxxx would probably bid 4♥, x Kxxx Kxxx QJT9 is about the best it would get (we might have missed slam then :)) Edited June 30, 2009 by mtvesuvius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrothgar Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Would have opened 1NT I'm torn onthis one. I suspect that I'd bid 4♥ at IMPs. (Playing 3♥ is shooting at a pretty small target). MPs I'd lean more towards passing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Would also have opened 1NT, pass now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Agree with 1N and pass. This hand isn't that great opposite a competitive raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Pass. Certainly not a wtp, since game may well make, butdepending on style, partner may have nothing more than an av. 2H call, i.e. even 3H can go down more than one. This hand showes, why it makes sense to add. anotherraise of openers major to your existing agreements,since another raise will make the range of the handsqualifying for a direct 3H raise smaller. With kind regardsMarlowe PS: I would have opened 1H, but of course this is a matterof partnership agreements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I'm bidding 4♥. No wasted honors, and you're vul. Yes, alot of hands are not making 4♥, but there are quite a few which do make too. Agree that this shouldve been opened 1NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 4 ♥, transfer to 4♠ X. I do not mind 1 NT or 1 Heart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Obvious pass now and an even more obvious 1NT opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
