wank Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Don't judge other peoples' preempts by your own standards, look at their card. Nothing to do with director (at least in the UK). Provided 2♥ is natural in the UK (at least 4 cards) you can AGREE to open a weak 2 on whatever you like (xxxx, xxxx, x, xxxx was a classic first in hand I opened 2♠ admittedly nobody vul to swing something like 26 IMPs into the plus column recently). Our agreement is 0-10 4+ cards although it's very unlikely to be <5 cards first in vul. some agreements are just too stupid though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 some agreements are just too stupid though. Ours are extreme, but I think treating first seat as an undisciplined preempting position is an interesting debate. (there are 3 people you can mess up, 2:1 it's not partner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 I just saw this topic and saw that bidding on this hand turned out to be disaster, but I would bid 4♠ at the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Of course you can argue than you can bid 4S then bail out to 5D if doubled. Perhaps that is the best tactic, but it sounds a bit desperate to me, and you are more likely to be doubled in 5D than if you were to bid it confidently immediately.Getting doubled in 5♦ could be gold :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
