whereagles Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I see 10 tricks, so the bid was just fine :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 4♠ is fine. Some people have a real anathema about preempting over a 1N opening. No problem for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 was this a sensible bid ? (opinions before you see how many I went down, please don't look at the hand in myhands before you comment LOL) Yes, I would've done it as well. As it turns out you have 4♠ laydown tnx to ♦A.Dbl is ridiculous... If there's someone who can Dbl, it's South, not North. what result do you think I was aiming for when I made this bid? Aiming for -2 maximum imo, hope to get something from partner and you have a huge chance to make it. what defence over NT would have got me to the best place for this hand? Any defense gets you to 4♠ imo. Just bid it ;) what is the best defence over NT in your opinion ? ( and why do you like it) Meckwell against strong NT!Multi-landy or Cappeletti against weak NT.

whereagles Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Cappelletti is awful. The only reason it is still played is because it's the same vs strong or weak NT, and people are too lazy to bother using different methods for both cases, lol.

( and why do you like it)Variants of Aspro/Asptro. Why - gives you good chances to get into the auction. Most defences except for Cappelletti have at least some merit.

luke warm Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 is suction gcc legal? i heard somewhere that it isn't... usually i play dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Good bid? Certanly! North's double is impossible. I prefer Woolsey over strong notrump, also like lionel (aka astro-grano) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 sure, if u wont bid 4S with that then u never will. certainly caught great cards with pard. What result were you hoping for? making...expecting down 1 or 2 probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 is suction gcc legal? i heard somewhere that it isn't... usually i play dont Suction isn't GCC legal, but neither is the 2♦ call in Woolsey for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 ok, that means i can't play it in any acbl tourney... is it true that any defense over 1nt is legal IF at least one suit is known? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woolsey has more to do that the 2♦ overcall is ambiguous. If you swap 2♣ and 2♦, you can play it, since there are no restrictions on 2♣ and double. Suction is illegal on many fronts, but District 23 allows it for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
