Guest Jlall Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Why would opener ever have 3 clubs? wouldn't he just bid 1NT? Unless he has some strange 3613 and is being clever (often not a bad idea) but that is certainly less than 1 % of the 2C bids. I guess it's different for me as I would always open a strong NT with 5 card major if possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriorKnowledge Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 There is no doubt I'd rather be playing 2 clubs than 2 hearts opposite this: Kxxx, x, Kxxxx, xxx. Yup - then 2H rebid works best and 2C rebid is a disaster. I prefer the 2C rebid for 1 main reason: Bidding 646 is typically stronger than bidding 664. If responder has a marginal game invite hand we will be in 4H or 3N rather than 2H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not agree with you more; that's why IMO just one little card makes all the difference - the 10 of hearts in opener's hand. Now the hand is fully worth a jump to 3H in value, but I show that hand with HCH sequence instead of HHC, as you say. It's just a very close decision, and as such I look for fine distinctions that (I believe) will give me the winning edge. Your point is well taken: tis a matter of judging how truly strong the opening hand is. For me, it a "tweener", and I prefer to have full values for the aggressive action. But that's just me. Good point and post. WinstonM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
