Vampyr Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Playing SAYC or 2/1 I don't think any expert players have ever advocated a system with a gap between an opening one bid and an opening weak 2 bid. I am unaware of what experts have advocated, but while they may not advocate a "gap" in terms of high card points, there will definitely be hands not opened with a weak two based on suit quality/purity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovera Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 "... formulation of two rules that are the pillars of the preempt [ 3 or higher level] declaration: a) the hand should not contain more than 1 and a half likely tricks defensive; b) .."(pag. 198 of Stayman system) ... The requirements for the two weak opening bidding are: 1) a hand that is not good for a bidding of one color; * [When, in the face of a declaration to NT, the value of the hand goes to13 points] 2) a good suit , generally of six cards; 3) form five to seven tricks on according of vulnerability. ... Example 23: South ♠ KQ10864 ♥ 9 ♦ A742 ♣ 63 North ♠ A7 ♥ K953 ♦ KQ86 ♣ 542 Bidding 2 ♠ - 2 NT, 3 ♦*- 4♠ *3♦ bidding shows a good hand . With this sureness being force in diamonds of rilevant value for South partner gets directly manche in spade. (pagg. 206, 207 and 208 of Stayman system). About valutation i prefer to consider Losing Tricks Courtney and (eventually) plastic valutation of hand (+/- 1 point, +/- 1 card) instead rule of 19 or 20.(Lovera) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
