whereagles Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Matchpoints, all vuln. ♠ KJ54♥ K7542♦ Q7♣ 75 RHO you1♦ ...?? Will you overcall? Note: michaels not available, but you can vote for that under "other" if you'd bid it in your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 2♦ at MPs to try to win the partscore. IMPs I will feel not so good but probably will do it just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinksy Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 What's the vul? 2♦ seems insane to me, assuming it's Michaels. P's going to compete on all the wrong sort of hands. Pass for me vul, though it's close since I have the spade suit pretty sewn up, and I'd rather compete now than later. But for this cheap an overcall, I need a bit extra. NV, I'd probably stretch to it, but I'd feel dirty about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Probably pass but I could talk myself into it w/w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I hope the posters convince future opponents to bid Mike or overcall in this position with that type of holding, so I won't argue against it. I especially encourage a Michaels cue with this holding for those who (like Whereagles) don't play Michaels cuebids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Added vulnerability. (All vuln) When I play 2♦ as michaels I allow for 5-4s, but always 5 hearts. Would you bid it under that agreement..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMoe Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Nope.Pass then balance. ♦Q wasted. Like partner to know if they hold 2T3 in my suit I promise an opening hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggwhiz Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 1♥ at mp's, set the defense, bump them up etc. is an agreed partnership style for me and no, I don't always look both ways before I cross the road or sleep with a night light. Clear cut if you add a ten or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Thx all. Here is the "solution": [hv=pc=n&s=sqt96hajt8dak5ca2&w=skj54hk7542dq7c75&n=sa873hq6dt32ct943&e=s2h93dj9864ckqj86&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=1d1hpp2np3nppp]399|300[/hv] Despite the screaming lack of intermediates, I decided that 1♥ at MPs would be worth it. It did create N/S some problems, as North didn't think it was worth a negative dbl, and South thought a balancing 1NT to be insufficient for his "huge" hand. Still, in practice the frisky overcall backfired, as 3NT is cold, while much of the field went down in 4♠ LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Added vulnerability. (All vuln) When I play 2♦ as michaels I allow for 5-4s, but always 5 hearts. Would you bid it under that agreement..?sure, we allow 44 in certain situation, but just because we can, does not mean we have to do it.Since you show 5+ hearts, if you can go for it.
