fuburules3 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 You hold: ♠Ax♥ J9xxxx♦ void♣ A9xxx It's the first board of a one session pairs event, no one vulnerable. Your opponents are one of the stronger pairs in the field. You play 2/1 with 2 diamonds, hearts, and spade being weak 2's. The auction goes P-P-?

mr1303 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I pass this one. The reason being, despite the excellent shape, we are likely to be outgunned on this hand, and partner is likely to be on lead against something. I fear a heart lead against their 4 spade/ 5 diamond contract may be fatal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I am bidding 1H on this. There is no reason whatsoever that a H lead will be "fatal", and who says your partner will be on lead? Lets get in there - not 2H as the Hearts are not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi, most likely I would go with Pass, intending to come in later witha 2-suited overcall. But 1H is not bad, espesicially, if you regl. open light in 3rd seat. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 1♥ for me. Always and against everyone. I'm not going to distort my hand with a preempt with this suit. Me too and at IMPS as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
