PhilG007 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Can a 2♥ bid be "too close" to 1♥? Most would not have a gap between 1♥ and 2♥ in my experience. The range for a 2♥ opening would usually be immediately below the range for 1♥ on a six-card suit. 2♥ is more pre-emptive than 1♥ But then again 1♥ promises more than 2♥ The former is limited whereasthe latter is not.

miamijd Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I should also add that it depends on your system, too. You can be more free-wheeling with weak 2s if you play a big club, because then your 1H openers can be a bit weaker (you are capped).

The range for a 2♥ opening would usually be immediately below the range for 1♥ on a six-card suit."Too close" not in the sense that it falls into some mysterious gap, but that it is too close to one extreme to represent an ideal (as the post I quoted maintained).

Vampyr Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 2♥ on that hand would be OK in 3rd or 4th seat. As dealer or in 2nd to speak its a shade too weak.Exchange the Q♣ for the K♣ and I would open 2♥ as dealer or 2nd seat.You mean the suit is too weak in first or second? I agree, and also agree that in third seat anything goes, but why would you open anything at all in 4th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
