MickyB Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Micky, I have a related question to you. When you hold a 13 count 4441 hand, I assume you open 1D - what do you rebid when the response is 1NT? If the answer is 2D then you are no worse off rebidding 2C over the 1C - 1S auction. If the answer is Pass then perhaps you already treat a 1m444 hand as semi-balanced and doing the same with 4414 is not such a stretch. As an aside I think that opening 1C with the weak NT and 1D with the stronger hand is more harmonious precisely for this reason, that it facilitates easier auctions with the much more common weak NT hand type. Yes, we'd open 1D and pass 1NT - same as we would with a 4351 13-count. Our auctions with 11-13 balanced are fine, thus I like to preempt a little more on these hands than 1C-P-1R transfer.
