Cyberyeti Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 ATxxKQxxKTxxx If my pd passes over 5♣ with this, after i open 1♦...or after i open anything at 1 level...he better be running good or ugly things will happen. :P Even when they are making doubled with 2 overtricks.I don't like passing this, but it means when I do double, partner expects something closer to the original hand. Particularly I don't X this with 2 small clubs and a minimum X. Put a club into the other suits and it becomes an automatic double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think the general style of preempter is very important here. I am used to play vs extremely agressive and unpredictable preempters, and if thats the case i think DBL stands in high priority for me. However this preempt was made by an North American player, way too predictable (eventhough that was the first time we played against him) compared to someone from europe...But all of this is just my personal opinion. Yes. I wanted to vote "it depends on RHO" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszeszycki Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I am a firm believer in using space whenever possible. Once the opps make a large preempt it isimpossible to scientifically search for 7 (that means cue bids shwoing support at 6 level are a waste). We are best served using what space we have to explore alternative small slams. Here we have some leeway and I think 6c showing the 55 majors is the best way to approach this. If p hates both majors they may be able to rebid 6d and we are happy with that also. If p had opened 1c (and opps bid 5d) we would not have the option of bidding 6d since there isno safe place like 6c to fall back on if no major suit fit). The 5n overwhelming choice would be mine if P had opened 1C. Since they opened 1D I will make the extra tryfor a major suit slam since it is SAFE. Nothing in the rule book says p has to be minimum and about the only time I want to defend 5c is when p is minimum 2254 I will gamble that we have at least a small slamand that is why I rule out x.
