broze Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 It's all pretty academic because I can't think of a sensible field where West would pass on that hand in third seat. I wouldn't go so far to say that makes the problem "academic"... Give East a small spade and West a small heart and pass as West is pretty reasonable (imo). I don't know if you'd call a standard club session a 'sensible' field but I'm sure I could find you a bus-load of passers there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'd open 1♦ reversing 2♥, hope partner bid 3♦ over 2♥. Else i will re-rebid 3♦ hoping for 4♦ or re-rebid 4♥ in case of 3♥.Yes, we all know we should open the higher suit with equal lengths. and we all know engineering a reverse (thus distorting the relative suit lengths) is an overall losing strategy. However, when the top suit is solid and I want to focus on support/controls in the lower one, I will admit to considering an "operation" upon CHO in hopes of finding what I need. Not sure I would actually do it, but it would cross my mind. I don't know if MinorKid was resulting or not; but his post has merit here.

ggwhiz Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Not a hand for science to me. 1♥ first, 6♦ next and damn the torpedoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
