As it happens raising was winning action. I polled some friends and the opinions are split.What do you think ? If you think the hand is too weak, what is minimum addition to it to make it 3!C. If you think it's 3!C how much lighter would you go ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsteele Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 At imps this is a clear cut 3C call. Pd should have a good hand and a good suit. At MPs this is a matter of style - not that of the advancer but that of the overcaller. I want my pds to bid 2C over 1D with any excuse. It is the most disruptive of the simple overcalls as it occupies the most space. It disrupts natural free bids, interferes with negative doubles and skews natural NT bidding. Therfore when I raise the 2C call to 3C I will have playing strengh and can stand the lead if it should come to that. This style also dismisses the Law of total tricks in this situation as 5 cd club suits (even 4) are as likely as 6. Over 1D bid 2C NV on XXX, X QTXXX, AKQJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
