ArtK78 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I have seen good players open a hand like this in this situation any number of spades from 1 to 4. Any level may work depending on the state of the game, the partnership style, the opponents, and, of course, the layout of the cards. Personally, I think 3♠ is probably best in the long run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 IMNSHO ---One of those odd numbers= a Nigel 10; any even number= a Nigel 5. He is generous with his five's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many heart tricks he expected to take? My estimate would be minus 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Open 1S. Anything else is silly. You got lucky because you played against someone who has zero skills in hand evaluation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 1♠ is canonical. 2/3/4♠ are a bit gambling.. can work, but can also backfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
