kenrexford Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Of course. What else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 That's fine. The value of the hand in a 3NT contract should be within the range of what partner expects, unless you have an exotic preempt style. Same with the (lack of) defensive values, and value in a 4M contract. And 3♣ is safe enough at this vuln. And it's favorable at IMPs, even 1st seat, gotta preempt if possible.

gwnn Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 if I opened a thread for every time I open kj6th on the 3 level... :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Not insane, but TBH I find myself passing this type of hand more often, and rarely regretting it when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Did anyone notice that this was IMPs? This hand has everything you want from a preempt. A good suit, distribution, no defense. Except for the good suit, distribution and no defense. To me, this is insane. But I am sure that to many posters on these Fora it is a routine preempt. Uggh.

pooltuna Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Of course. What else? certainly within my variability limits altho some may say it is too strong by 2 kings (well at least one) for these colors :rolleyes: .... When you have a license to steal you need to exercise it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 white v red, I don't think it is insane. I wouldn't do it, since it isn't my style with 2=2=3=6....give me 1=3=3=6 and I might well choose it (altho I'd like to have the 10/9 of clubs). I do think it insane at any other colours, or in 2nd seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 It's insane, but you were also in a good situation for insanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 For us this would be a 3C opener at this colors, for others not.But to answer your question, if you did it undiscussed, 3C is insane. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 These are the right colors to preempt here with this rubbish, but if PD won't expect it, things could go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I wouldn't ever do this but lots of people would at these colors so def not insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Bad shape and defensive character of the hand hints at a pass. Would open a weak 2♣ if available, but not 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONEferBRID Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Of course. What else?We all love him..... but.......at the institution where Ken resides, they periodically loosen the straight-jacket just enough for him to post here.

aguahombre Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Agree, whole "hog" --pass, and no --not insane, just not my cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 3♣ seems normal enough to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Not insane, it just depends on your partnership's preempt style... I've played even more agressive (0-7 with a 5 card suit) without much problems, although thàt is in fact insane! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
