Pass or preempt?


Recommended Posts

2h

 

unless the power is spread most of our power is behind most of

the opps power. The reasonable intermediates and the 7th heart

give me enough comfort to trot out my preempt while I still

can.

 

If the power is equally spread 2h will probably easily make but

is in danger of being missed due to a passed out hand.

I'm not happy bidding, and I am even less happy passing, so 2 it is...and I will show a bad hand with a bad suit, if playing a form of Ogust.

Yes,,,we agree,,,also can't pass and can't bid 3 with this junk at these colors.

2 and would not have seriously considered any other option. Probably not a great shock that I agree with Mickyb given the number of his bidding rants I've been subjected to. Fwiw I wouldn't open it if I didn't have those heart pips.

I dislike 2H quite a lot with a 7 card suit. For me it's between 3H and pass, and at these colours I pass.

 

 

What is your objection to opening 2 with a 7 card suit?

 

I realise that people make plenty of awkward bids in attempts to describe their hands as best they can (off shape 1NT and especially 2NT openings, rebids of 3 card suits to establish a gf etc) but, although it's not perfect at all, I didn't really think that this was one of those uncomfortable stretches (although I can see that some other people bidding it do).

 

If your objection is that 2 is not a good description of the hand, is pass really a better one?
