mtvesuvius Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 B, C, D, E. Pretty much anytime I want them led. I overcall quite agressively in this spot. I'd probably bid without the club honour on C, D, E... Depends for B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 cde b is close but the risk seems to outweigh reward becasue it rquires much more of p (or a lucky dia honor split) for a dia lead to hurt opps nt. If p is w/o the required extra help there is significant danger 2d could get hammered for a huge loss. cde all have some degreee of danger but significantly less.

In fact, I might overcall A just for that reason. I probably would at MPs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 But I don't mind a club lead on A and B, so no rush to overcall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 When was the last time you were doubled in 2♦ here? 2M maybe, but not 2♦! It was the last time I did it with A or B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Only the first one is pass for me and only when vulnerable. do you see "unfav imps" by the OP. That translates into you are V they are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably would at MPs... 2MX is game, 2♦X is not. So I would assume the opponents are more likely to take a shot where they wouldn't at 2MX. The colors are unfavorable so I would probably pass all of these, the last one hoping they get to 3NT which I might X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 All but "A". Yes I see the vulnerability. Don't you want a diamond lead against 3N on these hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Color me chicken, but I would be wary of bidding on any of these hands, except E (and maybe D). Basically, I don't fancy KXX too much when sitting under a 1N opener and I don't think that assuming the risk at these colors is worth it, especially when they might not even land in 3N...

whereagles Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Chicken ;) I'll stay out of trouble with hand A due to lack of intermediates. All others are no brainers :) Opps are likely to have a major suit fit anyway, so the risk is close to zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
