dake50 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Lesser without a 4xMajor.More-ther with a Major to find and play.Since a minor fit without a Major plays 3m at least - they won't let 2D/2C play will they?With a Major, we need secure info for our game decision.

32519 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hmm..., I would argue for even lighter 2♣ given its premptive value. The same goes for unbalanced hands with 1♦ as well -- the downside is more than offset by firing the first salvo and denying the opps the comfort of their opening structure. Also, if anything, I would argue for the upper range to be more lowered than raised -- my philosophy is to open 1♣ when in doubt (except when holding marginal extremely distributional hands)... I don’t agree with this at all. I find that the further you lower your minor suit pre-empts, the greater the probability of the opponents making marginal games in a major when one of them can enter the auction. The further you lower your minor suit pre-empts the more any (required) finesses are taken through partner. I favour bumping up the HCP range for minor suit orientated hands as suggested in the OP. You may lose the part score, but not a game score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
