If 2♦ was GF, no for me. If not, then change my vote to yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuhchung Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 The misadventure numbers do seem to be rising consistently. Do you just increment them randomly, or is this a serious count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flem72 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I think waiting for a solid suit wastes bidding opportunities. I prefer to make these jumps with a Very Good Suit (some specific auctions require a truly solid 6+ suit), and my standard for a VGS would be 5+ winners and at most 1 loser opposite a small stiff. This is informative enough that partner can evaluate his cards, and enables the showing of a source of tricks much more frequently than the solid suit requirement. When I'm playing SJS or XYZ, the HCP requirement varies a bit with the solidity factor. As always, YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I think waiting for a solid suit wastes bidding opportunities.I think stealing an extra level in an already game-forcing auction should require something really special going on. I looked who voted "yes" so I'm probably wrong, but personally I try to avoid jumping in 2/1 auctions, unless the jump is worth the amount of bidding space we'll lose.

LOL I usually just add one to the auto complete! We have had way more than 6545 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
