An interesting hand from the game today

2S

[mw64ahw]

Not your traditional Weak 2, but 2♠ if you have the methods to show the 2nd suit (at least 65) over an enquiry.

[jillybean]

Just watch me while I pull a rabbit out of my hat.
I have no methods like that.

[DavidKok]

I have methods to show 6M5m over 2♠, but this is a 4♠ opening.

[P_Marlowe]

Hi,

it is either Pass or 4S, I prefer Pass, but 4S is ok as well.

Both can work out great or bad.

With kind regards
Marlowe

4♠ says single-suited to me

[shyams]

I don't like 2♠ with this hand.

Agree with P_Marlowe --- it's a Pass or 4♠ situation. I too marginally prefer Pass to 4♠

Yes it does. So does 2S.

[Cyberyeti]

Playing my old methods I could show 5-5, but now I play a multi and no way I'm doing that. 4♠ or pass, probably 4♠ in some other vuls and positions, pass here.

[jillybean]

You decide or misclick,on 2♠

4C response to ogust shows this hand?

I understand Ogust only goes up to 3NT, so I have bypassed Ogust response for some reason.

I did not open 1S so I must have less than:

AT9xxx..x..void..ATxxxx
or
AT9xxx..void...xxx...ATxx

I bid at Unfav. vulnerability, so I cant have zero...

Understand your spirit, but I would not risk 4♣ without discussion, could be either suit (and what if she has xxx) or a control in a hand very close to 1♠.
We are unlikely to have slam, quite likely to have game: 4♠.

Understand your spirit, but I would not risk 4♣, even if you are certain she would take it as second suit (what if she has xxxx) rather than a control in a hand very close to opening 1♠.
We are vulnerable and unlikely to have slam, quite likely to have game: I would go easy on companion and bid 4♠ now.

I've started playing a response structure to 2N where you can show 5+ of a 2nd suit with/without a void or max/min.

Sophisticated..
I just prefer 2S-2NT asks for shortness
2S-3C asks for feature

[jillybean]

I appreciate your creativity but we have only very basic responses to work with. Some version of;
3♣ bad bad
3♦ bad hand good suit
3 ♥ ♥ good hand. bad suit
3♠. good good

How would you describe this hand?

[gszes]

4s. no defense and it takes so little to make game. Why make it easy for the opps to enter the bidding? The neat part about this hand is, if partner is the one going slamming, 4n will get us to the best place (unless you are using those insipid jumps to the 6 level to show key cards and a void ewwwwwwwww).
