How High To Pre-Empt


Recommended Posts

I really like the previous comment on the ways 5 can win. I'd be willing to let the opps play 5M when they have a slam.

 

I can understand an immediate unusual NT call (at any level one likes). I hope it doesn't blow the match hen partner has majors...:)

IMO

  1. Prefer immediate action over 2.
  2. Now, 5 = 10. 6 = 8. 7 = 6.

It is funny, it reminds me of a deal where the auction came back on my 2nd turn at 6S after partner doubled a D artificial bid, and I bid 7 with a similar hand (long D and a secondary suit). Opponents had a misunderstanding about forcing passes and went down 1 (partner had a side ace) so we got a top. On the other direction the top was for those who played 5S making 6 as 7DX scores less. I would have never bid 6 on 5 thinking they were 1 level too low.

Nevertheless (and apologies for this long digression), I will also bid 5D. On my 1st turn I would bid 4NT at favorable only, but give me a little more green vs green, I dont want to be unnecessarily 500 down.
