SteveMoe Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Opposite a passed partner I like 3♥ over 1♦. Yes, I have a void and a side Ace but this isn't too far off the mark at this vlunerability. With 6 losers, I can afford to offer a 9-trick contract (Rule of 2).

Hands to come later.1♥ agree2♥ disagree- show a hand with about opening strength- if partner had given a real positive then it would be a different matter then 3♣ is fine. Now you have caused the damage you have to gamble back with 3♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I would have bid 3H over the 1D bid and passed thereafter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 1♥/2♥ shows a good hand with 6+ hearts. So, like others, I dislike your choice. Red/white makes me chicken out with 3 ♥, but 4 ♥ would be my second choice, 1 ♥ is wrong, passing ridiculous. What to do now? Now, you have showed another hand to your partner then you actually hold and you need to guess right. Maybe you should throw a coin- I have no idea.

Zelandakh Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I also prefer to preempt immediately and this style is pretty much enforced by the follow-ups. For example, your 2♥ bid would show a good opening hand for me. If you are too scared to commit to the 3 level at these colours then simply make an immediate weak jump overcall. In any case, get your hand off your chest and then hand the auction over to the 3 opps at the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Ditto, this is a 3♥ bid for me (over 1D), close to a 4♥ bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 How to bid a 2704 handBid 4♥ as soon as you can is my answer to this question. Some special events such as too much slam potential might make me rethink the tactic. Your hand is not really special, only the vulnerability makes me think that 3♥ instead of 4♥ might be best, but it is close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I like 3H over P (1D) at any colors. I want to give them the extra room not afforded by a 4H bid and hope they get to the wrong level in spades, since I have a bit of surprise defense.

Are your usual opponents spanish or something? :P, giving opps free space is not a good idea unless they suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 giving opps free space is not a good idea unless they suck.Giving the opps the amount of space my hand tells me to give them seems like a good idea to me. Giving them more or less than that doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 1H is ok - I would go with 3H, the vulnerability stops me from bidding 4H, in the end thisis a tactical decison, even 2H can work out well. (*)2H is ok - If you overcalled with 1H, you have to bid 2H, at one point in time you haveto start limiting your hand.Now 3H - a 7420 hand is nothing partner can expect, he is a passed hand, I am not going todefend 3Dx (*) Factors which play a role, are your 1 NT opening bid, knowledge of opponents and so on,maybe you get doubled in 2H / 3H, trying to go fishing is a valid tactic. With kind regardsMarlowe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
