eagles123 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Matchpoints first seat love all Partner is a pick up and seems like nice guy, but already he's passed your opening bid with 2 aces "i only had the 2 aces partner" and your system is Acol strong 2's etc etc if you want to bid 4c, guess what, it's gerber :P [hv=pc=n&e=shk6dqj8caqt87542]133|100[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 if you want to bid 4c, guess what, it's gerber :P [hv=pc=n&e=shk6dqj8caqt87542]133|100[/hv] Well, that's ok, I don't think anyone would bid 4♣ with this anyway.How about 1♣? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenG Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 5♣ is awful, in the context of an English club MPs. You'll get a bottom every time they (the field) can't make game, or every time they can make game but don't bid it, or if we can make 3NT.

NickRW Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I don't mean this nastily, but if you have aspirations to be a reasonable player, find better partners before worrying over what to open this hand with. Playing MPs with randoms does nothing for the quality of your game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 1♣ just seems normal and obvious. I don't know what form the auction will take but I doubt I'm sitting for 3N. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 "Partner is a pick up and seems like nice guy, but already he's passed your opening bid with 2 aces "i only had the 2 aces partner" " In that case, nice guy or not, I'd have had this hand with a different PD. Opposite this lug, I think I'd just shoot out 5♣ but opposite a normal PD I start with 1♣ in 1st seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daffydoc Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 preempts are fun - but to pre on a hand where it takes less than an opener from pard to make slam makes no sense - for you will never ever have a shot at bidding it - open one and while it may be unlikely - at least you have a chance. daffydoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing MPs with randoms does nothing for the quality of your game. oh I try, my regular partner is actually a reasonable player, but I just fancied a game after work and took my chances as a single. we actually ended with a 59% session lol, but it's not the strongest of levels. on the hand I bid 5c, of course with a semi-sane partner I bid 1c but I was really seeing whether it was correct to take a position given the conditions of contest. thanks Eagles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtGodel Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I know the feeling, the summer I really got into bridge I turned up at the club twice a day everyday without a partner. I think I ended playing with over 50 different randoms, I have literally no idea how I put myself through that, even as someone new to the game I could tell they were terrible.
