the hog Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 1S. I do not object to a heavy 2S. This is a hand posted on bridgewinners and some there passed. Now THAT I do object to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 pass and 2♠ are ridicoulous IMO Wel that depends on your definition of weak 2s doesn't it. Personally I think your comment is ridiculous as this may well fall into the ambit of some partnership's weak 2 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 1S. Hope partner clues me in to 4S sac against 4H or not.With only DK + S-2nd in defense, that's what I project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 1♠, 652 rather than 643 I might try 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalldonn Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 1♠ is easy for me though I could imagine it in the range of 2♠ for someone with a very sound style. 3♠ and 4♠ both seem very bad to me, especially 4. That's even more true at MPs where the normal result may just be playing 2♠. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I would only open 2♠ if I were playing a 8-12 weak structure. Call that super sound if you want. Pass is old fashioned. 3♠ is offbeat. 4♠ is my 2nd choice, but its really swingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I would tend toward a heavy 2♠ playing 2/1, but wouldn't object to a partner who opened 1♠. Playing a light or limited opening system, 1♠ is clear. Anything other than 1 or 2♠ is a severe misrepresentation of the hand, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 1♠...bidding 4♠ will likely buy it in 4♠-X and it's unclear that such a near commital action is warranted at these colors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 A relatively unknown pair representing a very small country would open 2S (10-13) because their early seat 1S=14+ and is forcing. I aint them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdeegan Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 :P 1♠ seems right. You have a lot of tricks if pard fits ♠ or ♦, and you hold the boss suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I agree that there is a lot to be said for opening 5S immediately. If we open 4S and they compete to 5H we are going to bid 5S anyway, so we might as well bid it immediately. However, I would feel foolish if 5S was down 1 and opening 4S would have won the contract, so I would go with a simple 4S. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
