Gerben42 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Your methods: * 2/1 GF* After an 1m opening, partner responds with 5 HCP or any Ace* 2C opening shows the classical SAYC strongest opening bid OR a weak 2 in ♦ Your hand at teams (1st seat): [hv=pc=n&n=sahakt2dakq54cqt4]133|100[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm not sure the second half of your poll works - I open 1D then bid 3NT; but if I opened 2C I would double next (showing a strong balanced hand) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'd open 2♣ if I have the ability to show the 4-5 in the reds... Otherwise I think it's a clear 1♦. After 3♣ I'd Double (if I opened 2♣), otherwise bid 3N (1♦) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I like Gerben's gadget, and I've played it myself, but I don't consider this hand strong enough for the 3♥ rebid after 2♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Open 2♣ is a no brainer to me, the light 2C man... lol. After 3♣ I might either dbl or bid 3♦, depending on how I think pard will interpret the follow ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jallerton Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Another possible strategy, not included in the list of options above, is to open 2♣ and then rebid 2NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I would also like to bid 2NT but LHO bid 3♣. However I suspect 2♦ opening on this system includes some strong balanced hand that is suitable to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
