I believe pimp=good Roland, and it has little to do with cowboys.


There have been several threads on what a 5H opening should be. I think the majority here voted for either preemptive or not existent. It seems that this pair had the agreement that 5H shows a hand with no outside losers and exactly two trump losers. Given that this is the agreement I agree with you that 5S should be to play (no other useful meaning comes to mind).

Even though 5♥ is the bid one least wants to hear, it should give you a good score (hurray for duplicate!). It is hard to imagine a stop below slam after a 1H opening. 6S and 6C have virtually no play (the opponents have two chances to break a possible squeeze) while 5H has good chances (a heart lead is tough to find, a black lead is exactly twice as likely as a diamond lead, and even after a diamond lead there are some endplay chances). 5S seems even better.

So, now I want to hear the auction that starts with 1H and stops exactly at 5H......who's up fer dat? (And yes I include a Misiry auction if u like)

Why would you want to know when you don't want to be in 5♥?

Roland

Can you think of a reasonable 2/1 auction to a contract better than 5♥?

You get the north hand you imagine pd will have a monster black suiter so you just
open 1♠ and when pd bids 4♥ splinter you pass :-)

Good try Luis, but I don't think that the splinter bid is reasonable.
