awm Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Opening 4♥ here is silly. Your hand is good and RHO is a passed hand, so you are quite likely to have the majority of the values. The colors are not good for opponents to sacrifice, so you aren't really that afraid of their possible spade bids. Your heart suit is not good enough to be sure that you belong in that strain, and you don't have enough playing strength for the four-level really either. It might be different in third chair, and if I had a seventh heart I would certainly want to open 4♥ (my offensive strength would be a trick more and the odds that hearts is our best strain would go up substantially too). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'd assume the perp needed to gain 45 imps in eight boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Opening 4♥ is random. Lots of ways to see that it can work, but many more ways to see that it won't. Interesting contrast with the xx xx AQT9xxx xx 2nd seat opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAce Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 good to see a certain unanimity in the responses Actually unanimity is much more than the posted replies imo.

wank Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I think you should find yourself a better partner, or less lucky opponents. lol thanks for the vote of confidence. it was an opp and they did score a bit of a goal with it. i'm not so hostile to the idea as everyone else though. as phil says there are a lot of ways to win, although it's my style to open 4M more than most people anyway.

dake50 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Open 4H and miss 6H as partner knows you don't have 2xA plus a void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Actually unanimity is much more than the posted replies imo. Me for rexample dont have anything more to add than those who replied already.This is often the case. Posters believe the answer is so obvious, they don't bother. However, in this case the idea of 4H seems to be so repugnant that we all want to weigh in anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetb Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 The person who bid 4♥ on THAT deserves to hit partner with ♠KQJxx ♥--- ♦QJTx ♣AKxx and go down a bunch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 If I want to do something off beat, I'd rather pass than open 4♥. I don't expect a pass out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poky Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I would have liked the opening on the 1st position. On 2nd, it is very bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
