Scoring: IMP
If you open 1♠ and the auction gets competitive, do you generally plan on introducing your diamonds or do you treat this as a 1-suiter? For example:
1♠-(2♣)-2♥-(P)
?

Partner expects you to often open light, should you so choose. At V/V, what's your call?

Would always open 4♠ with this hand type.

4♠.
Very seldom it would be right for us to play in ♦s , and this is by far compensated by the cases where the opps having to strt bidding on the 5 level will misjudge level and/or strain.

4♠, no second choice.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Hi,
4S.
I would open 4S, I dont consider this a 1S opener, but assuming I did,
I guess I have to bid 1S.
In the given auction, the only issue is, if 3D showes add. values, if not,
than the bid is fine, because I guess this was my plan, as I opened 1S.
And if this was my plan, I would see it through.
Partner bidding hearts did not help, opponents bidding clubs did not hurt.
After I opened 1S, if I bid 4S now, I could have opened directly 4S,
because, what would I have done, if there was no comp. and if partner
responded 2H? Would I have bid 2S? followed by 3/4S? over 3H? or
would I have shown my side suit?
With kind regards
Marlowe

4♠
If they compete, I double to show it was bid to make.
That might backfire horribly on this hand, but selling out to 5♣/♥ is to poor for me.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:
- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

I open 4♠, and almost certainly shut up thereafter.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I would open 4♠, but it is not hard to imagine a hand that partner might hold where 5♦ would be a superior spot. Axxxx of diamonds and a singleton spade.

4♠
We miss out on a better spot in diamonds occasionally.
They miss out on a dialogue and hence a heart or club game or slam hopefully more often.
We miss out on problems like what to do after partner's 2♥ in you auction. Basically if we open 1♠ this hand will not fit nicely into any rebid later.

4♠. Opening 1♠ would be just to introduce diamonds and let partner judge, so that's what I'd do in that case.

Even if you play 2 suited preempts, a hand this extreme looks, to me, to be best given the large number of ♠ treatment.

Exactly. I've overbid this now by rebidding 4♠ at my 2nd turn.
