Fluffy Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 ok, let´s be honnest: pass. I don´t see where do we go playing a hand without fit. My decision will be at any vulnerability, but I supose those agressive dudes Free and helium will want to know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbleighton Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Agree with Ben - 1H the first time - now you are too late to the party. Like to have a better heart suit, though. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter The time to be "frisky" is before the opponents have accurately described and limited their hands. 1♥ overcall on this is frisky, bidding later is crazy.

Free Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 1♥ in the first round. Since I didn't do that, I'll bid 2♥ now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 WOW so many bid 1♥ with this hand, cant believe it, weak hand weak 4 card suit. I only do that with a better hand and a better suit, a hand which passing would be a problem.Doubling now show a good hand with nice clubs, you got the clubs but miss few hcp, 2 more and i'd double, but here its a bit too risky.About free's 2♥ this makes me think we play a different game.

nikos59 Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Pass on the first round -I like to overcall morethan the average person but this suit is notat all attractive. Pass now as well.

Yes, I also think we play a different game :D Not even close AK10x would be ok with a 13 hcp hand.I reread mike lawrence's overcall book few days ago, and he would never bid 1h here, even though he is imo (and i think not only my opinion) a bit too flexiable on 4 cards overcalls.But i said what i said about the 2H, a bid like that should be on a weak 6-7 card suit but a 4 card, not even a 5 card.

Free Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I disagree, 4 card is enough, otherwise I'd certainly bid in the first round. For once I trust my opps, that my LHO doesn't have any Major (perhaps ♦s). So what is the worst case scenario: RHO has a 4 card ♥ and LHO has a 3 card, and we found our 4-2 fit. However, chance is now quite big that partner will have 5 or 6 ♠s, and he might as well bid 2♠, playing in at least a 7 card fit. HCP are about 20-20, so why doesn't anyone balance? 4-3 or 5-2 fits are playable imo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
