Hanoi5 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 All red, you hold: ♠J♥3♦AKQ97♣Q97643 After two passes, how would you treat this hand? Would you open 1♣ or 1♦? Let's say it goes:Pa-Pa-1♣-1♠1NT-2♠-??? What would you bid then? Pa-Pa-1♣-1♠1NT-2♠-3♦-3♠X-Pa-??? How about then? I understand you wouldn't get to any of these sequences but let's say you were sent to a table and the opponents refuse to redeal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Would have opened 1D, now I bid 3C. Would sit for the double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 The disparity of the suits, our overall weakness, and being opposite a passed hand are just enough to make me open 1♦. Having opened 1♣, over 2♠ I'd bid 2NT, showing a two-suiter with one of the red suits. I'm not answering the last question. If I had sat down part way through the auction and been presented with this auction, I would simply stand up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I generally hate opening the 5 card suit rather than the 6 card suit but I think with 5-6 in the minors and a weak hand its mandatory, you cannot control the auction when you have the minors. I think with 5H and 6D it is also often right if the hearts are much better than the diamonds. With AKQxx of diamonds and partner being a passed hand it seems like a no brainer to me, we get the right lead director in when they are extremely likely to play the hand. Getting to the wrong suit when partner is 2-2 or w/e is just not a concern at all, we won't be playing it unless he fits one minor really well.

dake50 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Having decided this hand is 1C and 2D reverse, bid it out. 4D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Perfer to open 1♦ to prevent the rebid problems that ended up happening :lol: Anyway, 3♦ and pull pard's double to 4♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I would have opened this one diamond, for the lead if nothing else. This is not a reverse hand for me, even with 6-5 I feel like I should have more values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Frankly I think opening 1♣ was awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdct Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I think it's a clear 1♣ opening followed by bidding ♦ twice and at the four-level if necessary. The opponents can surely make 4 of a major whilst 5 of our minor is unlikely to be worse than -2. The last scenario is exactly how the auction would've gone at my table and I would've ripped the double to 4♦. If the opponents bid 4♠ and partner doubles it, I'll pass as partner knows that I'm at least 6-5 in the minors but has still judged to double it.

jdonn Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 He also thought you had a good hand and he is fairly likely to make a bad lead to boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
