发帖数: 295 | 1 If I read that correctly, the dealer is your RHO, right?
I would choose not to balance.
The reason is that I DEFINITELY had overcalled 1H right after
the opening bid. |

No, I am not only talking about bermuda bowl. bridge is somehow a game of
regulations nowadays. There were a lot of ruling disputes in recent top level
matches.
One thing I am sure is that you can't really understand strong pass system,
nightmare, etc in half a week.
Well, that's aggressiveness, not really destructive. I've read a lot of
their hands actually. Actually Meckwell's system is quite straight forward
comparing with other destructive methods: like 8-10 super light 1NT,
fert, overcall |

In 70s, there were suspected cheating in auctions:
IMPs red vs white.
one of the brother hold something like:
S Axx
H Axx
D J9xx
C Q10x
RHO opened 1H and raised to 2H by lefty, partner's 3C passed to him,
He passed.
Then another hand, again red vs white:
S AQ10xx
H xx
D Jx
C A10xx
LHO opened 1H and partner overcall 1S, this time he raised to 4S.
Those "experts" at that time said that same 11 POINTS but different
actions. |

发帖数: 3277 | 4 prebalancing has not been approved by most experts. Larry Cohen
and Marty Bergen liked it, however, for most players, it is not very playable

发帖数: 295 | 7 I played this way some years ago, no particular edge compared with 2 level
strong freebids.:) In my opinion, espcially in IMPs, the structure should
favor strong hands, not the weak ones.
If you are interested in negative freebids, you may find the following idea
useful. :-)
In his book, "competitive bidding in acol", Crowhurst suggest that:
wether a 2 level freebid is forcing or not, depends on the rank of suit you

As I said, different people have different styles and views. I don't think
it's essentially wrong to bid 2H, 2C,or 3S here once you have the agreement of
style.
I even saw people overcalling 1H with that.
But of course, there is always the "standard" way, which is No.3, which will
also be my pick.

lawrence's book on 2/1. His opinion on 4card major vs 5card major is that both
have their merits. In partscore and game contract they are basically even. He
said, it is in slam bidding which 5card major outguns 4card major.
This remind me of the precision club. I think precision has exactly advantage
in slam bidding. So this seems to imply that precision with 4card major will
be even better.

on the final day, we each made some mistakes

发帖数: 295 | 17 My principle is when having a self-sufficient 7 card suit,
just forget about showing the 4 card side suit.
Most of the time, 7-4 is a ONE suiter hand,
IMHO it's silly to look for a 4-4 fit when holding a 7
card suit.
So an unusual NT overcall is out of the question, even
though it might have worked well here.
5D was exaggerated, you need partner having something to
cover your side loser even you don't worry about trump at all.
6N over 5D is a little bit overbidded but understandable.

发帖数: 3277 | 18 You should bid 2D here although many might not like it.
If you don't bid, partner can hardly reopen. 2D is usually safe and you
do have many playing tricks in 2D. The basic idea of bidding over 1NT
overcall is to find some playable two level contracts when weak and double
them when strong. |

发帖数: 3277 | 23 I bid 4H and hope to make it. 4H may not be able to kill
4S, but it does kill many opps' 5m. You may miss slams
sometimes, but it's very unlikely after partner's pass and
RHO's opening. 2H can also be an option for solid players.
sometimes, 2H may get passed out, but it's rare.
Also, 2H then later 4H may describe your defensive potential
better, but even like that, if you partner can bid 5H
over 4S, it's often right even if you overcall 4H over 1S. |

发帖数: 3277 | 26 well, the worst thing about 1nt is that it's guaranteed wrong sided.
3nt can often be cold only played by partner. Actually if you have
SJ, it's ok to overcall 1nt, cause it becomes not that wrong sided,
but xxx is a huge minus. Comparing with 1nt, 2D or 2C can even be better. |
|
c****u
发帖数: 3277 | 27 it depends, if you hold another reasonable side suit, you tend to bid here
cause if you pass, you may miss game here and partner may not save you.
If you hold a balanced hand, you want to overcall 1nt if the hand falls
into your NT range. If your hand is too strong, like 19 or more, you
want to double and rebid some number of NT cause pass can be just too risky.
The really tough problems are hands like:

发帖数: 2804 | 43 I think most bids were wrong, but it really started from the double. Double
should emphasize shape, off-shape doubles should be used only when there is
no alternative. Here you have two reasonable alternatives: 1NT or 2C (yes,
you are allowed to make 2-level overcalls up to 18 hcp).
The major problem of double here is on space. If you plan on bidding NT
after double, you would have to do it at 2-level facing a possibly 0-count
partner. If the hand is like A965 / A8 / AKT97 / K6, and the opening |

发帖数: 2804 | 44 Double then bid NT at minimal level. However, due to space consideration, "
stronger than 1nt" is a relative term. I think if RHO opens 1C or 1D, 1NT
overcall shows 15 to bad 18. If RHO opens 1H/1S, 1NT can be a little heavier
, since the alternative (double then bidding NT) will force our side to 2NT
or higher. |
