gwnn Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 This 4th hand decision is easy, whoever my partner is. pass, i'm 90% it's the opps that are making something. in the 10% when it's us that make something, we rate to overbid and go for a minus. OK opposite matmat I'd open, he probably has an 18 count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 If the overbid Csaba passes, this should be a 100 % descission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Pass, don't know what I'm supposed to be liking. However, I'd open it 1♥ if my club was a heart giving me 4540. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickRW Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Pass. Give me another card in any suit other than that club and I'd open - maybe just give me another jack or a couple of tens and I might - but this is just not good enough.

georgeac Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I just wanted to get a few opinions on how horrible opening this was. I bid 1♦ planning to pass anything that partner bid. Partner responds 1♥ and its passed out. We make +2 for a top board. I see that this isnt advisable in the long term by the poll so maybe I should reconsider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, having a few minutes to consider, here are some add. remarks. If you play with a complete stranger, i.e. you have no clue, who is sitting across from you, your best bet is to play as close to the book as possible.I.e. if it comes to opening, you should have something that resembles an opening bid.E.g. if you make it a 5 card spade suit and 5440, than this is still an clear cutpass, but least could claim that you have 15 Pearson Points, enough foran opening, not a good claim, but at least there may be books out there,which recommend to open.The reason to play by the book is simple, you need to minimize the risk ofmisunderstandings to have a realistic chance to be succesful............................................................................................................Now assume you play with a regular partner, that it depends on your systemand opening style.If you play light openings, and partiular a 10-12NT opening, than you have topass, because you know partner does not have an opening bid, he does noteven hold 10-12 bal.If you play rock solid opening bids say Roth-Stone, than the arguments foran opening bid get stronger, I would even say, that you have to open in thisscenario.
