nick_s Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I was wondering if there are hands that you would open in 2/1 but not in standard. I'm thinking specifically of hands where you don't have a rebid if the response is 2m. Something like:xx Axxxx x AKxxx I think this meets the usual requirements for an opening in standard, with the exception of not having a rebid after 1H - 2D. Just curious - and wanting to learn :) Edit: 13 cards now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRW Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Can't answer your question as I am neither a 2/1 or standard player - however, I would call the director - I've got 14 cards :) Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdanno Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 This is an obvious opening in any system. In 2/1, you rebid 2♥ over 2♦, unless you have agreed that rebidding does not show extras (or shows mild extras only). This does not show 6 hearts so you do not have a rebid problem.

Quantumcat Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 2H shows either 6 hearts or a hand not good enough for a reverse that has a 2nd suit lower than the one responder bid, and also can't bid 2NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
