ArtK78 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 With my regular partner, 4 of the other minor is kickback and a jump to 4 of a major is an asking bid in that major. To get to game in a major, one must bid the major at the 3 level (forcing) and then bid 4 of the major. So this is a non-issue. The other point raised is whether it is legal to vary your preempting style against stronger opposition. I don't believe that you can have a partnership agreement to vary your style against different partnerships (anymore than you can choose to play 2/1 against some partnerships and Precision against others), whether it is based on specific individuals or a class of individuals (stronger opposition). However, if you choose to make more aggressive preempts against stronger opposition but have not discussed this with your partner, it is OK. Of course, once this has occurred once or twice it may become a de facto partnership agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
