rmnka447 Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 If I open 1 ♥ playing 2/1 and partner replies with a forcing NT, than my rebid would be 4 ♥. To me, this hand is a classic for that sort of auction, it should show a distributional hand with a long, broken ♥ suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardVector Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 I personally disagree with the premise that a hand can be too weak to open, but too strong to preempt. I am sure I am in the minority, but I would pass in 2nd seat with that hand for the reasons in my first sentence. It's too weak to open, and too strong to preempt. Yes, you allow the opponents to potentially steal the auction, but you gain trust with partner in that when you open, you have an opening hand and when you preempt, you promise you have no outside 4 card major nor a void. Of course, in 3rd seat, all this is moot. If you truly feel the need to act on those kind of hands, overbid it by 1. It's a 7 card suit, open it 4h.
