I know, il finimondo, ma chi se ne frega! Minimum requirements for an opening bid in terms of playing strength and hcps power. Mine in the examples below. What's yours? Try to be honest with yourself. Opening bid : 1C S 2 H 2 D 2 C AQ98765432 ( Mostly for tactical reasons ) Opening bid : 1D S --- H --- D A65432 C Q765432 ( Better if diamonds are longer ) Opening bid : 1C S KJ2 H KJ2 D QJ2 C QJ32 ( Not good offensively speaking, nevertheless 14 hcps are too good to pass ) Now... How would you have planned the bidding with the aforementioned hands? Good Luck BR Other posts:
