ggwhiz Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 1♥ for me. When we can make slam opposite as little as 5 mediocre ♠, ♥ shortness and one Ace, I'm not taking spades out of the picture. I don't expect to get there more than once in a blue moon but if they overcall and pard bids 2♠ I'm cue bidding, likewise if pard responds 1♠ and they overcall now. If it lets them into the auction profitably, so be it. Feels like +300 against our white game is about the worst that could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 4h for me.....74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 This looks like a 1♥ - 1N - 4♥ hand to me. Opposite a limit raise a slam looks like its in the ballpark and I would expect partner to pass a 4♥ opener with this. I have enough defense against 5 of a minor that I don't think I need to raise the stakes right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2000magic Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 It would depend on the vulnerability: red vs white, 1♥; all others, 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 1H. Opps aren't going anywhere and these hearts are a bit wimpish for 4H. It [4H] can work wonders, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Regardless of colors or method of scoring, I hear slams are worth a lot. Dunno how many of the cold ones we will get to with this, but no chance if I open 4H. XXKXXXXXXAXXX Any hand with two keys, 3 hearts, and third round spade support will do. Many hands with 5 spades. Etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yu18772 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 1♥ - I wont miss game, they dont have ♠ to find (but we might), slam is possible, and total misfit is possible. At equal vul woldn't be too unhappy to let partner double some minor contract, given the right opportunity. http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Another 1♥ bidder with this hand of great potential. I do have some simpathy for 4♥ but 1♥ is my clear preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
