Cyberyeti Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I would open ALL the other hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw64ahw Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I can understand why East & West didn't open, but North? Time to find yourself another partner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I would certainly open as North. Many people would. Even 4th hand can open citing the rule of 15 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 4th hand can open citing the rule of 15 :)http://bridgehanoi.blogspot.com/ Welcome back. Hanoi5, who quotes ...In all fields of endeavour emotion is the arch-enemy of judgement.North seems to have exercised judgement, here. If Pilowsky as dealer, can't open, then East-West might be in the slam-zone :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBengtsson Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 its a strange hand. e/w can make 3nt as cards are. with best defense n/s go down -2 in possible 2♠ contract. but all human north would open 1♠ imo. what happen after that is anyone to guess?

pescetom Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I would open N automatically. Maybe also E, depending on opponents, partner and the moon. its a strange hand. e/w can make 3nt as cards are. Not if ♠K hits the deck in first trick.

Winstonm Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I would open north but wouldn’t like it and I open east in third seat because I can comfortably pass any response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Is that a good idea? Not sure, it's just common that if you play 12-14 in the other 3 seats, then you drop the minimum reqs to 11 in 4th seat as you are odds on to have the majority of the points. Some drop it to 11-13 so that partner is never tempted to raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Assuming North's on lead otherwise its 2/5♠One way or the other, ♠K has to hit the deck.More likely with South on lead than with North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
