Scoring: IMP

Scoring is IMP's converted to VP. Everything else is equal.


North opens 1♣.

Your bid?

Edit: You are East. Sorry.

White vs Red...another vote for some real preemption with 4♦. I don't hate 3♦ but do hate 1♦

4♦ seems normal.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

I did.

I want to see the poll results without influencing them. (And I am insane.)

3♦ is enough for me, I'd like to see what the experts 3♦ garbage would look like!

4♦. The hand is simply too good for a favorable vul 3♦.

I voted for I'm insane too because I tend to play rule of 2/3/4 and I'm optimistic that I have 7 tricks (6 ♦ + favorably placed ♣K), so I'm about 50/50 between 4♦ and 5♦ and would probably depend on my mood, table feel, state of match, and most importantly opponents quality if I bid 5 or 4.

You would NOT! :P

Anyway, I'm firmly in the 4♦ camp.
Kind regards,

4♦, bridge is very seldom about being a genius, it is important to get these routine decisions right. A 4m preempt is just much more effective than a 3m preempt.

People seem a lot more smart than me, The reason why I bid only 3♦ is that I don't like to bypass 3NT with such a good hand and a partner unlimited.

The problem is partner won't expect such a good cards from my side at this vulnerability I guess, specially if I didn't have a 2♦ bid avaible.

I know plenty of good players that would bid 3♦, but I would bid 4. My guess is that if a hand like this appeared in MSC the split would be:

60% - 4♦
30% - 3♦
10% - 1♦

I would bet it would be 60/30 the other way. I think 3 is a majority expert action in North America.

edit: I mean we got the juniors and the aussies bidding 4, that must mean 3 is normal :P

And in a junior event it would be

50% - 5♦
50% - 1NT
