neilkaz Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 1♥ for me. I really don't like to pass 5431 12 counts, in spite of no aces and a stiff J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrothgar Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Playing strong club, easy openingPlaying 2/1 GF, a reluctant passPlaying "standard", I would probably open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 both majors at BAM? is this a real question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yes not close. If it was favourable I would open without the ♣Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Goren would open this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I would open, although I would not bite the head off a partner who passed it. For those who play flannery it is even easier to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I would open. I wouldn't be proud of it, but passing invites bad things to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Great, I did open but I was the only one from our team who would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveharty Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I agree that this is a totally normal hand to open 1H, and would expect the North player at the other table to do so. For that reason, passing is perfect if you are trying to manufacture a swing: it's not so outrageous as to be a wild misrepresentation of your hand and will almost certainly lead to a different auction than at the other table. I don't have a great deal of experience playing BAM but it seems like a reasonable gamble if you feel like you're an underdog against a given team.

Cascade Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Great, I did open but I was the only one from our team who would. Even if I somehow found myself on a team of players that would not open this hand I would expect that they would not come close to criticizing me for opening a 12-high hand with both majors.

ahydra Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 <zooms into 500%, can't see the club suit but guesses it's KQx from the thread> Would open but reject any sort of try that partner made. I think you can't afford to pass 12-counts at all really, even when partner is passed hand. ahydra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Great, I did open but I was the only one from our team who would.Suposing you are the most agressive player in your team is an easy bet :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I don't think I know anyone who would pass this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
