andy_h Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Pass. Axxxx+ ain't great for preempts and there could be chances to be playing in my 2nd suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jlall Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 You don't list 4S on your poll? Definitely like that better than either 2S or 3S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Yea, looks like an obvious 4♠ to me. I'm not concerned with making so much as keeping the opponents out of their heart game/slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 You don't list 4S on your poll? Definitely like that better than either 2S or 3S. Yes wth, 2♠ and 3♠ get 0, 1♠ gets a little, and pass and 4♠ get fair scores depending on your preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 This hand just keeps popping up everywhere. Someone must be obsessed with it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonottawa Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 If I'm too lazy to look at the spots or check the vulnerability or evaluate the most likely bids, surely I'm too lazy to open this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I open 1S in ACBL as an agreement to open less than 8 HCP is disallowed. (sic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgr Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 You don't list 4S on your poll? Definitely like that better than either 2S or 3S. It was not in the poll, so I thought it was very bad. Non-vuln I would open 4S. I think I have too much offense to open 2/3S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1 Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I don't know the spots or vulnerability. Sorry I omitted 4♠ from the list of options. I should also have listed "Other". Unfortunately, I can't add these retrospectively; but please say if you prefer another option to those on the list. I re-posted this hand because it is the subject of argument in a laws forum. Please comment there on the legality of opening this hand at the one-level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jikl Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 4♠ Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Seems like a 4♠ bid to me. No one's perfect. Or perhaps 3♠ + some nr. of diamonds, if you like that sort of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
