helene_t Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 There is one strange reason to be optimistic about this hand: Any Kings and Queens that partner was dealt are working cards. Well, it means that the hand has the offensive potential that partner expects from a 2♠ opening. If he bids 4♠ to make it is probably ok. Maybe we go down but in that case we would probably have gotten the same bad results if I start with a pass and then invite to game after his opening. Maybe a 2♠ opening serves to rightside the contract, if p opens 1NT we may end up in 4♠ by the wrong side after a transfer. (This is not much of an issue for strong-notrumpers since if p has 15+ we probably have game anyway). The problem I see is that the queens may work in defense also, so if partner bids 4♠ as a sac, and he is assuming we play disciplined preempts, it is likely to be bad.
