Kungsgeten Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I've been thinking about a system along the following lines: 1C = Natural unbal, but not forcing. May have 5-5 minors.1D = 12-14 NT or natural unbal. If unbal without a major, then 16+.1M = 5+ major.1NT = 15-172C = 18-20 NT, or any GF.2D = 6+D or 5D and 4C. No major. 11-15.2M = Weak2NT = 21-23 The idea is the same as 5542 with unbalanced diamonds, but to remove some hands from the nebulous minor opening. It is easier to unload hands from a diamond opening, since 2D can be used. I've also thought of playing 1D as unbal with clubs, but didn't really like the continuations I came up with. I know the 1C opening is underloaded, but how would you use the space available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullve Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I know the 1C opening is underloaded, but how would you use the space available?I think I have enough space for almost everything I want after my "NAT or 11-13/17-19/26+ BAL" 1♣ opening, so I'd be happy to simply remove the balanced hands, try to put the 5D5C hands where some balanced hands used to be (e.g. in the the transfer accept) and leave many bids idle. But using the partly freed-up transfer accept as Gazzilli (e.g with 3c support or a strong hand) would be an obvious alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
