Fluffy Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 ♠10♥AKQ875432♦J♣AK MPs, Opps vulnerable, rho deals and passes, 4NT as an opening unavaible, your options today are: (pass)-1♥-(2♠)-pass(3♠)-?? (pass)-2♣-(2♠)-3♦(3♠)-?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'd open 2♣ not 1♥. On the next round, we have two ways to bid 5♥ - bid it directly, or pass then bid 5♥. I'll choose the one that shows a spade control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'd also open 2♣, next I guess 5♥ gets my hand across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Is 4N second time not blackwood in either case ? Certainly is if I've opened 1♥, is partner really going to play me for a square 29 count if I've opened 2♣ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flameous Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 After that 2♣ sequence it's rkc for ♦ which doesn't work too well here.Don't I have an option of namyats+4NT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 It seems like there is an even easier sequence. Open 4NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantumcat Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Possibly after opening 1♥ and getting interfered with, rebid 5♥? That should say to pard, "I have 11 tricks, please raise if you have an ace". I think it is better to keep the 2♣ openings for when you have an actual strong hand, not just incredible distribution and loads of tricks. This is cause if you have distribution, so does everyone else, and you are very unlikely to get passed out in your 1-level opening. My current partner (let's call him Alice) raised a one-time casual partner (let's call him Bob) to 7NT after he opened 2♣ with something like the hand mentioned and Alice had something like 18 HCP, of course Alice went down some and Bob yelled at Alice, but after a consultation with Peter Gill who in my opinion is the best player in Australia and worthy of awesome respect and admiration, said Alice was perfectly right and Bob had nothing resembling a 2♣ opening. If Peter Gill says it, I am happy to take it as law (plus it helps that it makes sense logically). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
