Hanoi5 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Why wouldn't I? If partner doesn't show spades I'll just rebid my hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSGibson Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I think you have found a hand that would be opened by everyone everywhere all the way back in time. Culbertson would be happy with 2 1/2 quick tricks, Goren would open with the 11 HCP & 3 distribution points, Bergen wouldn't even think twice....Maybe Al Roth would apply some super conservative philosophy to think about it a second before he opened, not sure on that one. What's plain to me, though, is that I should open it, and you should open it unless you have a specific agreement with partner that you should not open normal hands.

manudude03 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Easy 1H, the more interesting question is if the hands worth 2 or 3 spades if partner responds 1S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 if you have a style where you can show this with 2 or 3 spades use it, I would bid 4♠ as a game try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 if you have a style where you can show this with 2 or 3 spades use it, I would bid 4♠ as a game try.As in "bid game, let partner try to make it"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, a fine major suit, 2.5 quick tricks, a sound Goren 13 count, no rebid problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 if you have a style where you can show this with 2 or 3 spades use it, I would bid 4♠ as a game try.Having not thought of a toy where a raise to 2♠ means anything else, we will try that. Never knew it was a style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply,it conforms to applicable rule of 22 for this hand, so opening 1H is reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles123 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 seems a fairly simple 1♥ opening to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 As in "bid game, let partner try to make it"?No, a game try in that context is where you bid game and try to make it. A game invitation is where you bid it and invite partner to make it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenberg Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I am about to play with a partner with whom I open this 2♦. If he inquires via 2NT I am to bid 3♠ to show the 6-4. With everyone else I open 1♥. How bad can it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
