msjennifer Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 BOARD 7.IMP scoring. what is the most descriptive bid? Would it be the same if it is MP scoring ?[hv=pc=n&s=s7632h97643daqcaq&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=1hp2dp]133|200[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tramticket Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Some might choose to pass this, but we play a weak NT and would have opened 1NT. Playing a strong NT, you presumably rebid 2NT to show the weak NT type hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordontd Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I think the idea of opening 1NT when 4-5 in the majors is horrible! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Playing SEF it is a systematic 2♥ rebid, maybe also playing SAYC in order to allow responder to bid a nonforcing 2NT. Playing 2/1, 2NT or maybe even 2♠ may be an option, depending on style. Playing Acol I would have opened 1NT. I wouldn't blame partner for having passed, or opened 1♣, by the way. But I would probably open 1♥ myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tramticket Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I think the idea of opening 1NT when 4-5 in the majors is horrible! Yes, it is unpleasant. But I would argue that rebidding that heart suit is even more unpleasant and reversing is completely wrong. There is a lot to be said for passing on a hand that has defence but little playing strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I think the idea of opening 1NT when 4-5 in the majors is horrible! So do I, but it's pass or 1N, I am not rebidding that heart suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
