hrothgar Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Looks like an easy 3S bid to meI'll run to 4C if I get doubled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytoox Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 I would simply bid 1s. Opp is unlikely have slam, given my two aces. Opp hopefully have a game in heart. If you phyic 3h, and dbled, u will run, then they will find out it. So i think 1s may work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 In the first or second seat, playing with my regular partner, I would open this 1S (pickup partner = Pass). In the third seat, too many losers for game. When I read the post at first, I thought 2S. I think Richard may be right, however. So: At the table, 2S. In this post, 3S. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifemonster Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 2S, piece of cake. The color is in fav of preempt, but you gotta draw a line somewhere. Don't overdo it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antoine Fourrière Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 2S, purely based on distribution. I want partner to raise to three with three cards and to four with four cards. I'll bid 3D if possible. What is there about vulnerability that says that I should do something outlandish? It may still be our hand.

Free Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Can we still win something?? I'd bid 1NT (psychic). If partner bids 2D (transfer H) I pass, I he bids 2H I'll bid 3S... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishovnbg Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 2HE weak 2 - not mistake ;D. Hope my p know modern style and dont raise my preempt after he passed :). By the way i already had same board at tournament. I opened 2SP weak with singleton from 3th pos no vul, LHO dbl and my p raise to 3SP... I already expect i receive deserved zero, but RHO continue with side suit. Final contract was slam from opps. I lead SP, p take A, return another SP and I ruff for -1. Good result of course. My p had 7 cards FIT in SP, may be it was lowest raise in bridge history with same fit ::). Misho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 I did a little experiment with this hand. Using the bridge program Jack (v2.02), I set it up so that South and West had passes and North had the given hand, then I dealt 9 hands and saw how the bidding might go with each of four bids by North (Pass, 1S, 2S or 3S). I didn't try either of the psyches suggested (1NT or 2H) because there would be too many judgement calls in the bidding. If North started with a pass, I assumed he would come in at the two level (if it looked right) but not the three level. For South, I assumed that he would assume a 5 card suit for a 2S pre-empt, and a 6 card suit for a 3S pre-empt. I let Jack bid the East/West hands to simulate playing against a reasonable, but not expert, pair. The raw scores were as follows (all scores are double dummy results). Pass 1S 2S 3S-620 -620 -620 -620+100 -140 -50 -100+110 +110 -110 -150+420 +420 +420 +420+140 +140 -50 -50-660 -620/-500 -600 -600-130 +140 +140 +500+100 +140 -50 -50-650 -650 -650 -200 The choice in row 6 is because I genuinely couldn't decide whether North would sacrifice over 4H. I realise 9 hands is not a very large sample, but this sort of experiment takes a while per hand! Now I have these results, I am not entirely sure what, if anything, they show! Assuming this is a representative sample, what does the data suggest? Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Hi Eric, IF this data had been representative, ithad shown, that in this particular hand 3 Spade is a clear winner, followed by 1 Spade and that the worst bid is 2 Spade...
