mike777 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I will start with 1s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhu D Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 If you bid 1S it goes (2D)-P-(diamond raise). I probably should have put this as a supplementary poll question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 4h now after they bid d may miss slam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I don't know which suit I want to play in, and neither do I know the level. So I try to find stuff out by opening 1S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ycos Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 2♣ or 3♦ if play OMEGA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetb Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 1♠ intending on 4♥ rebid. If I am really lucky, I am playing Strong 2s in 4th seat, and can therefore open 2♠, still planning on rebidding 4♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomSac Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 1S then hearts, I don't see why this is a problem. It is asking a lot for partner to have 2 of the 3 keycards we are missing once he passes over 2D, even though it's possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I would lean toward the specific ace ask (if I knew the system and felt it was safe) but w/o that info I would end up bidding 1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'm not sure what a specific ace ask will get you when you don't even know what suit you want to play in yet. Never mind that you are also missing a very important king, or can I ask for that next over each response showing 1 or both of the important aces?

Pard has two keys (AC and KH) but will correct 4H to 4S as he has a 2245 shape and thinks it is all a big misfit. I'm not sure if he should continue, he can tell from the diamond raise and his length that this hand is void in diamonds so the AC is likely a great card. Basically the entire field played 4M with two slams (6H and 6SX), so not sure if you can bid normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would open 2♣ Then rebid the ♠(game forcing) then the ♥Partner will know then (if he is a player worth his salt)that I have powerful major 2 suiterand demanding at least a major suit game contract.

rmnka447 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Put me in the 1 ♠ followed by ♥ camp. You're looking at a legitimate 3 loser hand. Plan to bid to least 4 ♥ on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
