jdonn Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Not 2♣! 3♣ if it's not too strong for you, 1♦ if it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Not 2♣! 3♣ if it's not too strong for you, 1♦ if it is. Yeh, have always wondered whether most people play 3C as weak, but not broke -- or really weak. But that might be a hijack. In competition, we lower standards for 3C --but otherwise it could be just short of 11 dummy points and this one would fit our 3C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 If you don't bid 3♣ with this hand I wonder with wich hand you'd bid it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 If you don't bid 3♣ with this hand I wonder with wich hand you'd bid it For some people, an ace less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 huh... the same hand with AK on the clubs maybe?? anyway.. I prefer 1♦ (lead directing purposes), even though that makes it easier for opps to find their heart fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I just don't understand, what is your normal bid when aprtner opens 1♣ and you have nothing but ♣AQJxxx? If you have no 6-9 HCP raise well, you should then change your system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I would wait for 8-10ish rather than 6, if I am playing criss-cross... rarely do I even bother discussing playing it. if my points are all concentrated in clubs, I will raise to 3C/4C anyway. On the posted hand, 1D looks good. On many/most 8-10s with support, I start with 1NT. Not so much to play it - if it comes back to me my 2nd bid is 3C - but opps are less likely to come back in and find their major over 1C-1NT than over 1C-C raise, it seems. My 1C-3C is typically 4-7ish - with more 0-3s than 8s or 9s mixed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
