MrAce Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 You will get a lot of different replies for this, since it is highly style oriented decision. I would go with 3♥ myself. I wouldnt mind 2♥ or 4♥. Though I don't like 1♥ or pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillybean Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Which seat were you in?Don't ask. :ph34r: I knew it wasn't right but my hand seemed too good for 2♥ and I did not consider 3♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Well, I'm glad you are looking at your own decisions instead of trying to get ammo against partner's. 4♥ is abysmal in case youre wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_clown Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 3♥. Unfav. I would open 2♥ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Partner should bid 2♠ ? I think so. With the opponents vulnerable the auction isn't getting away from you and you can show your support later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I think so. With the opponents vulnerable the auction isn't getting away from you and you can show your support later. & making it easier for me to bid to the 5 level if needed? (if I did have a 1♥ opening) And, please explain why you would open 3H and not 2, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveharty Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Partner should bid 2♠ ?I think both 2S and 3C are far better choices than 4H. Re. the opening, I agree with the_clown, 2H unfavorable, else 3H. The side four card suit really makes this hand a player, I would like to suggest a high ODR to partner. Opening 1H is often going to mislead partner about your defensive potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if I did have a 1♥ opening) And, please explain why you would open 3H and not 2, The hand has too much playing strength for a w/r two bid. LTC is kind of useful here, and a 6 loser weak two is generally considered heavy. (ducks) If you compare this hand to a lot of trashy hands where you should be opening 2♥, you can see its worth 3.

han Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 3H for me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Partner should bid 2♠ ?Or a 4♣ splinter, perhaps? Unless they are fielding your extremely light 2nd seat opener B-) 3♥ looks like a reasonable opening in this seat at these colours, and should lead to 4♥. Both 2♥ and Pass I think are better than 1♥; 4♥ is ok, if a tad aggressive, and perhaps unnecessary with 3 cards in ♠, except as a double-bluff...

jillybean Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I'm finding that my partner and I are miles apart when it comes to opening weak 2's.He likes '2 of the top 3' in 1st and 2nd seat whereas my requirement is more like 6 to the 'x'. This hand looks too goodto open 2H to me, my partner thinks it is min for a 2H opener. We have some work to do. :) I have never defined exactly what a preempt looks like in 1st,2nd,3rd seat, V, NV etc but I don't think a simple point count is adequate and perhaps we need to look at things like loosing trick count and ODR.

daveharty Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 ...my partner thinks it is min for a 2H opener. I cannot imagine playing a style where this is "minimum" for a 2H opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
