helene_t Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 KxQ876543Jxxx When would you do what with this hand? (seat, colors, scoring). I know I will be LOLed at for this but I prefer a preempt style that does not depend (much) on vulnerability in 1st/2nd seat. At least at matchpoints. So 2♥ is generally enough for me except of course 3rd seat nonvul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossoneri Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 2♥ unless in 3rd seat nonvul. Might even be tempted to pass this at first/2nd seat when vulnerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 first and second seat I have 3 people to worry about, and don't think 2H is helpful to my center opponent. Not that I think a pass is that great either, but as mentioned in other strings, sometimes a favorable swing can be created when one is silent and the opponents are unaware. And maybe partner will open, the opponents will be silent, and we can have a nice auction, partner knowing I didn't have a starting preempt that fit nicely into our style.

TylerE Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 3♥, and I don't think it's close. Are the 2♥ bidders looking at the same hand? Seems impossibly timid to me. Pass is better than 2♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se12sam Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 At IMPs: 1. White vs. white: 3♥ all seats (note: all implies 1st, 2nd, 3rd)2. White vs. red: 3♥ all seats3. Red vs. red: 2♥ all seats4. Red vs. white: 2♥ in 1st or 3rd seat. May pass in 2nd seat At Matchpoints:3♥ all seats, and all vulnerabilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Usually a weak 2 but I'll pass r/w in 2nd. I'll open 3♥ w/r in 1st and 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 i'd never open 3. 7222 and a suit that is Q222222 make this hand pretty awful. I might open 2, but probably not red. I think this hand is too weak for a vul weak 2; it's pretty poor offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 w/r third seat 3Hw/w or r/r 3rd seat 2Hw/r or w/w first seat 2Hw/r 2nd seat 2H otherwise pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRW Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Mech - what a pile of dren. Might open 3♥ 3rd seat w/r. Might open 2♥ if I was playing that in other seats - but I usually play multi and I don't have a poor suit/min type of response to 2NT - so I really don't like this hand for 2♦. Nick P.S. Later edit - I suppose I might be tempted with 2♦ multi in 3rd seat at equal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 1st/2nd/3rd r/r w/w 2♥ w/r 3♥ r/w PASS 2nd/3rd red I might pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi, I wont pass. In first and 2nd seat being red vs. green: 2H: At all other positions / vulnerability - 3H In third position green vs. red: a 4H preempt can occur. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdanno Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 w/r third seat 3Hw/w or r/r 3rd seat 2Hw/r or w/w first seat 2Hw/r 2nd seat 2H otherwise pass. I would always pass in second seat, otherwise the same for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 red = 2 1,3 seat. pass in 2\4 To bid 3 red = simply crazy , bidding 2 is already dangerous . white = 3 in 1,3 seat and 2 in 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 2♥ is plenty with that suit (all vulnerabilities), 1st through third and I'm somewhat ashamed to bid it in 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 From a scientific point of view: You have 7.5 losers and a bad suit. This means that vulnerable you always PASS. 7.5 losers means that you may bid 3♥ white / red but not at any other colors.all white I would open 2♥ in 1st and 3rd, and pass in 2nd due to the terrible suit.
