bluecalm Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have no idea.I see arguments for different styles of reopening here which depends heavily on what you overcall with.Despite playing all natural there are more options.Some of my polish friends like to play that dbl is 4♠-5+minor here (so responder could bid 2NT to ask doubler to show his minor).I am not big fan of this style. There is also a point in playing that 2♠ is now 4♠-5+m as you would overcall round before with 5spades and if the hand was too weak it's still to weak now. If I play all natural I think I would be tempted by 2♣ round before. I know we are vulnerable and all but it's 6-4 which might be lost later.

Coelacanth Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Perfect hand for an Astro cuebid. 2♥ at your first turn would have shown 6+ clubs and exactly 4 spades. Whether you have enough playing strength for this action vul vs. not probably depends on the quality of your opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I would have bid 2C the previous round. Edit: I think doubling the previous round might also be okay but it's a little weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Probably 2♣ last round. Double looks normal this round but maybe I could be sold on 3♣ since partner sometimes bids a 3 card spade suit here if we double. In fact I'm kind of on the fence.

Rodney26 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 x now (assuming MP). Pass is OK too I think 2♣ on the first round is certifiable. It solves this problem now that they have passed out and gets you in a level sooner but how about all the other hands where you're supposed to have your unfavorable overcall in the death chair?

whereagles Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 2♣ the round before, 3♣ now. Yes I'm buring the spades. This is because pard rates not to have more than 4 of them for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 2♣ first roundAgree with this. 2C last roundAgree with this too! We would like to have more values to overcall 2♣ at this vulnerability, and I would apologize if something went wrong, but with such a good suit, and the 6-4 shape, it seems to me that more good things than bad things will happen after bidding immediately.

JLOGIC Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Don't like 2C the round before at this vul. At this vul I like my partners to assume I have my bid and if the points arent adding up, the opps are probably the ones screwing around. So unlike at other vulnerabilities, I would double now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I really do not like 2C on the first round for the reasons posted above. I would also double now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 X now. It could work out badly, but I think it gains well over half the time. NV I would have Sandwiched on the first round; favorable I might like an obstructionist 3C better than an off-values 2C. Vulnerable I'm not willing to act the first round.

I don't think you have to bid directly r/w with that, and you certainly can't pass it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 3C. I think Pass the round before is ok. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 WTP pass followed by X. Almost a textbook hand. I play that 2S here is showing clubs tol. With 6 lousy S i bid 1/2 S or pass forever. Im not a big believer of balancing with single suiter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I passed then doubled, not the best option as the cards lied: [hv=n=saqhxxxxdqj9xxxcj&w=skxxhkj10xdakxxcxx&e=sjxxxhaqxxdxcqxxx&s=s109xxhxd10xcak109xx]399|300|[/hv] I reopen a lot with sick hands but first time I See partner with 10 cards in the other suits.

JLOGIC Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 3D does not seem so bad. Down 1 or 2 depending on the lead/defense. Meanwhile 2H is cold. Was it matchpoints or something and you went for 200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 playing on MBC, partner bid 2♠ (not best :rolleyes:) and should be -800 but escaped -500, it was IMPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
