Rebound Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 [hv=d=s&v=b&s=skq98xxh10xxdjxxxc]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] This may seem a bit obvious but I'm just curious to know everyone's choice of opening bid for this hand. Back in the day, it was suggested to me open this hand 3 ♠ because of the shape. In the event I opened it 2, but I would like to know if there are any dissenters.

the hog Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Vul I would open 2S, nv I would open 3.I would not quibble if you as my pd decided to open 3S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 I'd be tempted in first seat to open this 3S at all vulnerabilities expcet favourable. Other than that 2S looks about right on the money. Pass? Not likely. Dwayne Jnr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke warm Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 2S always... while i'm sure i'd make exceptions, in general i want pard to count on 7 trumps for a 3 bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 I have too many losers for 3♠, AND I have a 3 card ♥. We might miss some superior ♥ game. I'd consider pass an option, but open 2♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 While I like to preempt loosely in 1st / 3rd, I think I'd pass this in 1st or 2nd. My partners and I have a formal rule about weak 2's with voids. Seems it just adds a little too much to the playing strength. Hopefully the opponents will copperate and come in.

cherdano Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 I am curious, too: Is there anyone who opens this 2♠ in first seat and would pass in second? I think I would still bid weak two in 2nd seat, but would be strongly tempted to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhar Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 3S at favorable vulnerability, otherwise 2S. In third seat, I would open 3S at equal vulnerability also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 NV: 3S, V: 2S, 4th seat pass at any vuln. Reason: why pass if you have an obstructing, safe, and perfectly desciptive bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikestar Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I like 3S in any seat except 4th and at any vulnerablity except unfavorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
