call over preempt

x

 

there is no way p is leaving this x in for penalty so we will most likely get a chance to show our heart suit w/o promising too much in the way of power. There will be no way to make p shut up if they have a heart fit and a decent hand if we begin with either 3 or 4 hearts. It might seem like pass is great here but IHMO p will almost never reopen with x and there is wayyyyyyyy too much chance we have an easy heart game if p cannot reopen. At MP I might consider p since it is only 1 board and gambling p can reopen with x might deliver a great MP score when we pass but it is too risky at IMPS.

Even if you two consider x to be totally off the wall nuts why not try and help the other readers with WHY you might consider X to be such a poor call. No one will ever learn anything from "bold". You two are among the strongest contributors to this forum and any information you wish to share can only help others learn :))))))))))))

Why is x a really poor call? Good grief, you have 7H. Do you think a x shows 7H. Further a x has at least a suggestion of a D suit. You appear to have....... uh, a stiff? What is partner expected to do over the x? Don't you think that 3H is far better. Over 4S you pass; over 3S or 4D you can bid 4H. An immediate 4H bid would show a better quality H suit imo
