Hanoi5 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Say you hold: ♠98xxx♥QJTxx♦Qx♣A Your RHO opens 1m (where 'm' represents a minor). What would you overcall? Let's say you don't like your Qx so change it to AQ and the worthless singleton, what would you overcall? Your Michael's is strong, by the way.

the hog Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 1S. How else are you going to have a chance to get both Majors into play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 2♣ is out because I'm too weak.1♠ is out because I need two of the top three honours to overcall on the 1 level.1♥ is out because I hope to get both suits in.x is out because it's extremely weird.pass is out because I don't live in the middle ages. so, 1♠, wtp? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 1S, and then discuss Michaels after the hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hi, I would make the Michaels Cue, .... well since you have agreedto play the Cue as strong, this option is out. In this case I would make a 1H overcall. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Whats the scoring? If its MPs I'm definitely bidding 1♥ - I don't want partner to lead a spade from Kx for example...At IMPs its closer. The problem with bidding spades is that it may bury a heart fit.I'm guess I'm bidding 1♥- the hand looks more 4-5 to me really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Gwnn cracks me up lately. There is also a strong correlation between how funny his joke is and how right he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 What would be left for reopening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 2♣ Mainly because my agreement is: 5-5 in the majors, too weak for two initiatives. If this isn't available, it's 1♠. Same reasons as above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
