thepossum Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 I felt rather unlucky here with 0% Hoping to claim that not all my 0s are misjudgement or error - maybe the stats show it is - can David run an analysis please :) - EDIT just ran one which backs up the Pass as better option Note - interested to read on the Bridgebum that you need 5 major - GiB 2/1 Cappelletti only asks for 4 I do feel it was rather lucky to make 10 tricks :) Maybe it was designed for rubber bridge and not duplicate :) [hv=https://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?lin=st||pn|thepossum,~Mwest,~Mnorth,~Meast|md|4SK32HAJ72D54CAT84,S764H965DKT63CJ62,SJT9HK843DAJ92C73,SAQ85HQTDQ87CKQ95|sv|b|rh||ah|Board%2010|mb|1N|an|notrump%20opener.%20Could%20have%205M.%20--%202-5%20!C;%202-5%20!D;%202-5%20!H;%202-5%20!S;%2015-17%20HCP;%2018-%20total%20points|mb|2H!|an|Cappelletti%20-%20hearts%20and%20a%20minor%20--%204+%20!H;%203-%20!S;%2011+%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|P|mb|P|pc|S4|pc|SJ|pc|SA|pc|S2|pc|S8|pc|S3|pc|S7|pc|S9|pc|C3|pc|CQ|pc|CA|pc|C2|pc|D4|pc|D3|pc|D9|pc|DQ|pc|S5|pc|SK|pc|S6|pc|ST|pc|D5|pc|D6|pc|DA|pc|D8|pc|C7|pc|CK|pc|C4|pc|C6|pc|D7|pc|H2|pc|DT|pc|D2|pc|C8|pc|CJ|pc|H8|pc|C9|pc|H3|pc|HQ|pc|HA|pc|H6|pc|H7|pc|H5|pc|HK|pc|HT|mc|10|]400|300[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 South intervenes vulnerable with a terrible agreement and pays the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepossum Posted March 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 What are the right times to use Cappelletti 3rd seat favourable or 3rd seat unfavorable :) Or not at all If you aren't going to get them down 2 tricks are you likely to score positive anywy If we were unfavourable it would have scored better. Almost a top. Sorry if they were white Maybe a double instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBengtsson Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 The idea with competing against any 1NT opening with a conventional bid is having some distribution in your hand, not competing when balanced with a 4432 hand. Capp should show at least 54xx or better distribution with the suits, with emphasis on the longer suit being the major when overcalling 2♥ or 2♠. So technically, with 4M4m you should not use Capp. The danger with any overcall of 1NT, even a weak NT opening, is that the opener is quite limited in shape and range, so it is easier for his partner to judge penalising you should you end up in a bad contract by using Capp, Landy, DONT or any of the other of the defenses to 1NT.
