NickB50014 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Is there any legal convention where open 1♥ or 1♠ with a singleton in said suit is a legal bid? I ran into this in a tournament today and I was wondering what conventions if any could be using such bids? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 whether something is legal or not depends on where you are playing. In most very high-level events you can play anything you like, as long as you alert it and explain it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwar0123 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 If it was a convention it would be a required alert as possible short. However it looks more like a psych bid, which isnt alertable and should fool his partner just as much as it fools you, he is just gambling that fooling you helps him more then fooling his partner hurts.
