whereagles Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Nuno, I don't object to 1NT either. I think 2C is better though. What I do object to is the sarcastic attitude of Han, who has become increasingly objectionable. He is extremely arrogant but in my view has very little to be arrogant about. Nah.. he's a normal person. You're just not used to deal with dutchies :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Why is 2C a distortion on shape? In SAYC it is standard/in the book, and in other systems at least in US, it is just a hair short of standard to open 1D with 4-4 minors where the hand is out of range for a NT opening. Well, if LHO hadn't bid it would have gone 1♦ 1♥1NT Bidding 2♣ here would show a 54 in the minors. Obviously, the situation is different if LHO overcalls, but you would still like to have a 54 to bid 2♣. If you bid 2♣ with the actual hand and LHO bids say 2♠ now, pard might bid 3♦ on 3 cards...
