Mbodell Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 There were a decent number of hands that partially revolved around if people choose to preempt or not, and if so at what level. I realize that not everyone has the same system or style agreements, so some differences might be due to that, but here are a set of hands where a preempt or not may have effected the outcome of the match, and I'll poll people for if they preempt or not on these 7 hands. Remember it is IMPs. Earlier hands are at part 1 and part 2. The most fun hand for last: Hand 7, favorable, 3rd seat (board 28)[hv=pc=n&s=sjh852d6ckqj98432&d=n&v=e&b=9&a=pp?]133|200[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 4C looks about right here. 5C will likely just go double float, and partner will put down an ill fitting 8 count, and I'll concede -800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I open 5♣ at this colors, zero defensive tricks means I want to put my pressure there, I can't imagine selling out at 4M at these colors. But maybe 4♣ works better, (4♣)-X-4M all pass, vs (5♣)-X-5M-6M, possible but unlikelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 No defense almost no chance I will be giving up -800 to nothing.odds of a succesful contract for our side other than clubs even less. This is your one chance to describe this 7 trick 1 suited hand at thisvulnerability (classic). This hand prefers maximum preemption vsworrying too much about scientific bidding. Think of it as imp insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Wouldn't even consider anything other than 5C favorable. The fact it's in third seat and no hope for one defensive trick makes it even clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Results: Hand 7 (right now it is close with 6 for 5♣ and 5 for 4♣)Open room: 5♣XS-3 -500[hv=pc=n&s=sjh852d6ckqj98432&w=sak83hkt6dak7542c&n=sq962hj73d93ca765&e=st754haq94dqjt8ct&d=n&v=e&b=9&a=pp5cdppp]399|300[/hv]Closed room: 7♦W-1 -100[hv=pc=n&s=sjh852d6ckqj98432&w=sak83hkt6dak7542c&n=sq962hj73d93ca765&e=st754haq94dqjt8ct&d=n&v=e&b=9&a=pp4c5cp5hp6d7c7dppp]399|300[/hv] Imps -12 for BBOForums. This was an interesting hand in that 7♥ on the 4-3 fit makes, but 7♦ and 7♠ fail despite the 10 and 8 card fits respectively. But 6♦ and 6♠ would have made, and 7♣ presumably would have been down 5 for -1100. Interestingly it was Moki on the Cayne team who didn't bid over the 4♣(5♣) strong sounding auction with the N hand but then did come in for 7♣ the next round.
