flytoox Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Red vs white I like strong jump. 3S looks right to me. But I dont mind to overcall 1S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double ! Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 without some other agreement, a simple 1♠ bid seems in order.I have a sound opener, 5 1/2 losers, good intermediates, controls, and the master suit. To bound into 4 spades (so the opps can't find a hypothetical save) is taking an unnecessary view on the hand, and I don't have flytoox's agreement with P. I have a 1♠ bid. Why can't I bid what I have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 I don't like to overcall a simple 1♠ on a good hand with 7-card suit. But this hand looks like a good exception to it. With the boss suit and a good chance the hand belongs to our side, there's no need to start making masterminding bids. The plan is to drive to later on 3♠ on my own, and double everything afterwards. This, of course, unless pard keeps passing and/or makes misfitish bids. I can live with a 3♠ overcall and subsequently double opps, but that can turn out wrong with pard is weakish with doubleton spade, so 1♠ looks a bit better. Less pressure yes, but more constructive.

pclayton Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 1♠ - see what happens. Any kind of pressure bid doesn't look right here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 1S. I choose it over no alternatives because I can't find any. My plan is to see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted July 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 1S. I choose it over no alternatives because I can't find any. My plan is to see what happens. Both players at table bid 4s not 1s.At one RHO x'd and they made 4.At other table RHO bid 5d and as responder I passed with 2 outside Kings and a stiff spade and got berated during the next hand why did I not X after my pard vul 4s bid and they passed saying they had bid all they could. 5d down 4.

Winstonm Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 IMO, this hand is worth about the same as a hand that would open 1S and then rebid 3S - in other words, it's a hand that needs a little help from partner before it becomes real good. 4S vulnerable verses NV to me is insane. Overcalling 1S has these advantages: I can play a partscore when partner has minimum values; I can reach game when partner has minimum values and a fit; I can reach the correct game when partner has some cards; we can double the opponents if they get out of line. Note that if the auction goes 1?-1S-P-P-P, we probably haven't missed a thing - but if it goes 1?-4S-x-p-p-p and we go down 800 against nothing we have probably missed our chance at playing on a good team again.

Finch Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 1S. I choose it over no alternatives because I can't find any. My plan is to see what happens. Quite.You have a good hand and the boss suit. There's no need to jump.(Playing strong jump overcalls I could bid 2S. But I don't think anyone plays SJOs any more.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
