where max(x)<8

 

three situations, you are unfavourable at Pairs in second seat in all:

• (1♥)-?
   
  
• (p)-?
   
  
• (p)-p-(1♠)-p
  (2♥)-?
  

[mikeh]

at unfavourable, pass in all 3 scenarios, assuming I read them correctly.

 

The 3rd looks superficially the most attractive for competition until you realize that the 2♥ bidder didn't weak two and almost certainly lacks 3 spades, thus will often hold 6 or even 7 minor suit cards while partner is a favourite to have 4+ spades....ugh!

[bluecalm]

I agree with mikeh. Pass all of them.

I don't consider it close.

Gross!

[pooltuna]

the only one where the %age is possibly >50% is the first one and I would only do it at MP

[mikegill]

First two are obv passes imo. I might have fallen from grace and doubled on the 3rd ATT but upon reflection I think it's clear to pass.

[the hog]

I would pass all of these.

[Siegmund]

The only item I'll dispute is that I would consider the 1D opening the safest of the three. A sane player would pass all three, though I admit to feeling a pull of temptation on the first two. I'd have to be equal vul to do it.
