BunnyGo Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 1♦. I don't like preemptive openings with hands that have opening strength. No other bid looks right to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 5D seems too much, with too much defence against their 4M. Neither 3 or 4 diamonds appeal either, so 1D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 KNR just barely too much (17.45) to open 1NT, so I guess 1D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 KNR just barely too much (17.45) to open 1NT, so I guess 1D. So if u had ♣ Q instead of K and If KNR said 16, would you open this 1 NT ? Wtp with 1♦ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 The hand evaluation system assumes the one using it knows whether the hand is a NT hand or not. I apparently didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 A shortcut to use the KNR thing would be: http://www.jeff-goldsmith.org/cgi-bin/knr.cgi This would seem to indicate the hand is worth 1D, then a jump to 3D if pard makes a simple response.

cherdano Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 This hand has just 12hcp. I thought you need 13 to open at the one-level? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 This hand has just 12hcp. I thought you need 13 to open at the one-level? That's why its a weak 2. 2/3 top honors and 6-12 HCP. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 1D or 5D are both reasonable, since you are in 2nd pos.,open 1D. With kind regardsMarlowe 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Cherdano makes a joke and gets an upvote and I make one and get cherried? You can run but you can't hide! :angry: 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyGo Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Cherdano makes a joke and gets an upvote and I make one and get cherried? You can run but you can't hide! :angry: It was I, and I'll explain by saying I thought that it could be taken as a serious answer by the original poster, and so was not only not funny (IMO) but had a potentially negative contribution to the answer. If you think that doesn't merit a "cherry" then I'll think about being more conservative with my voting in the future. I didn't vote cherdano's either way.

aguahombre Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Mine was the upvote for Cherdano, because he seemed to be first to be getting into the spirit and subtly trying (in vain) to difuse what happened later with the spate of red things. Little did I know that it would turn into a platform for the unofficial post police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonottawa Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Because you're in 2nd seat, this is WTP territory. No sense preempting your partner and missing good slams when you have no reason to believe the opps have a big fit (since your pard will usually have 3+ ♠ and 4+ ♥.) Open 1♦. I'd still open 1♦ in first, but it's at least worth considering 5♦ there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
