HG Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 As a dealer I got the following difficult hand: S: AJH: xD: AxC: xxxxxxxx At first glance it looked to be a weak hand, but actuallyit has 2 quick tricks,and 6 potential tricks in clubs, if clubis the trump.As I do not mix preemptives with aces, I desided to open 1C, and rebid 2C and 3C.My partner reacted that I had to pass my hand.I still do not agree with him, as what I need from himfor a game of 5C may be 10 points(the ace of harts, andthe two kings of spades and diamonds).I am very interested in other opinons.

Codo Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 Hi haim, luckily you won`t get hands too often, where you have a 8 card suit with zero points.I think, that your idea to open was right: You have good offense, a good defense and nothing else is really better.

ejfree Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 SAYC, 4C in the first seat white vs red. 3C equal or unfavored. 2nd seat - 1C. or even better Precision 2C The reason for the differences is that I believe preempts show happen more in the 1st seat, than the 2nd. In the 2nd seat there is a good change that your partner has the points and your preempt would impede your auction. In the 1st seat, more probability of impedeing the opps auction. But, your mileage may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcyk Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 I was pass initially and then try to back into the auction if partner passes. Who knows. Someone might double 3C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
