JLOGIC Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 2H, then again I would not like to play a system where I could never systemically bid 2H with a soft 4 card constructive raise, because violating the system with that hand type seems fine to me.

Fluffy Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 well that was just a gide, I bid 2♥ often with 4 cards also, in fact when this hand happened with a client I didn't have mixed raise avaible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fromageGB Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I have no qualms about downgrading a 4 card support in a 4333 shape to 3 card support. The only time I did not do this in living memory, it was a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 2♥ - easy at pairs. Same answer at IMPs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Yes. 2H all the way. All evaluation methods I know hint at 2H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 2H with that hand seems so right, and would occur often enough IMO that I wouldn't offer to an opponent who asked that 1M-2M shows a 3-card raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akwoo Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Some of my partnerships have had the explicit agreement that 4333 hands have 3 cards in each suit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickyB Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I am sure that means something. It means they shouldn't play prism signals 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenvic Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 It means they shouldn't play prism signalsIf we have an agreement that we can open a little light, then I bid 2♥, if we have solid opening ideals I invite game. My queens aren't isolated, Q9 QT and AQ so could work well for partner. If 2 of them were Q8x or worse I'd downgrade my hand and just bid 2♥ regardless of partnership style.

Free Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 2♥ seems normal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 partner had: ♠A10x♥AKJxxx♦Jx♣Jx partner passed 2♥ for a AV-, most people in 4♥ more than half making. ♦K is offside, on a spade lead you need to guess wich spade to play from dummy. 3NT is best in IMPs, and at MPs it would work also very well because the normal lead is a spade.
