Poky Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I would bid an easy 2♠. Since my double in this position is negative, i will use it having 4♠ in a strong hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke warm Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 which is a good reason for opening 1s to start with... but given the actual bidding, i'd bid 2s also... if pard for some reason jumps to 4s, i'll just hafta do my best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jikl Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I have a weird response for you. Pass. The bidding isn't over, there are far too many points missing. Even if the bidding comes back at you at 4♥, you won't be too unhappy to think about 4♠ since your partner has not much or has already doubled 4♥. 5026 is a pretty good shape to be saccing with. I know a lot of people will disagree with this answer, but it is another choice. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GijsH Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I have a weird response for you. Pass.I fully agree, 2S gives completely wrong impression: "bridge is a partnership game". Thank God I don't have this problem: I open 2♠ (Muiderberg). Not playing Muiderberg I would open 1♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytoox Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 pass, exaggerate ur strength twice is not a good idea. If u bid 2S, either pd will dbl 3H, which probably will make, or you will bid to game and goes down. This is the problem with light opening.

mila85 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I wouldn't open this hand because:-promblems with rebid-I have 2 suiteted overcalls so bidding will be very easy when I pass first.-bad club suit-Only 9HCP (if I count ♦K). I will have a problem when my pard doubles their contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I don't like partner's 1NT bid much. It looks much easier to simply support ♣. I figure with 5 cards in overcaller's suits opener is almost bound to have at least 5♣. Having said that, I think that you must really bid 2♠ here. It is encumbent on the player short in opponents' suit to act. If you pass, partner will almost always have no bid to make. For those who open 1♠, I ask what happens if the bidding goes 1♠ (2♥) P (P) back to you? Now you are in an even worse position than if you had opend 1♣!

han Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Since I can't bid 2S now, I would have opened 1S. In my partnerships, opening a minor and then showing a five card major (e.g. 1C-1H-1S-1NT-2S) shows serious extras. I would open 1C on Jxxxx - Kx AJ10xxx, but it is unlikely that I can show my 5-card spade suit in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartA Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I will not open. I open a hand with Bergen count of 20 when HCP is at least 10 with no wasted honor. But I agree that 1C is a better opening than 1S. Now that I have opened 1C, I would bid 2S (and wish pd would not take it as a reverse).

Guest Jlall Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 bid 2S. Sometimes you take chances in life. you are 6-5 with 5 spades, you must not pass here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Should clearly have opened 1S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I haven´t ever played a system that doesn´t open 5 card majors, so I cannot help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 1♠ or 2♠ muiderberg but never 1♣ : hand is not strong enough, too many losers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Too many losers??? :) You only have 6 at most! I would NEVER open this as muiderberg, you're too strong... Opening 1♠ however might be better on this hand, but many guys will open 1♣ because it's their longest suit. It's a matter of preference imo, but you will easily miss your ♠ fit imo.

junyi_zhu Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 [hv=d=s&v=b&s=saj987hdk3cj108542]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv]i opened 1c and it cont1c (1H) 1NT (2H)what should i bid now ? it's probably better to open 1S here. The hand is rather weak, and your club suit isn't very good either, so 1S is practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
