Bidding... again...

"I think I read somewhere else that the Pearson point count/Casino count in practice has almost no applicability - it sounds good, but the whole having the boss suit mentality is overrated. If the hand looks like an opener, it should be opened. This hand is definitely worth an opening bid, thus should not be passed."

 

In your opinion; not in mine. Please quote your sources. "I read somewhere" - really? I channelled Belladonna, and he said this was not an opener. I think my source is more valid than "somewhere".

Outer Space is, while almost empty, "somewhere" B)

Effervesce may have read it on these forums; there have been many threads about Pearson points. Here for example is one thread where some posters claim that Pearson points are not relevant.

 

BTW Hog, I have grave(?) doubts that Belladonna rose from the dead to discuss bridge hands with you. But if he did it is disappointing that he wasted such an opportunity by recommending a pass on this opening hand.
