♥K1075
♦AQ102
♣AQ975

first position MPs nobody vul, whatever you open at the 1 level partner answers 1♠ back to you.


If you reverse feel free to mention what you would do next when partner bids 2 spades next.

I'd open 1♣ and rebid 2♣. To me the hand isn't close to a reverse, with a 15-count and a void in partners suit.

I'm passing 2♠.
Kind regards,
Harald

I never open 1♣ and rebid 2♣ with a 5-card suit.
Ok, here I will.

Hi,

I will open 1C.

If I will make a reverse, it is 2H.

Do I reverse, I voted yes, but it is as likley that I bid 2C, of course
it helps, that I could pass 2S, even if I would make the reverse.

With kind regards
Marlowe

This is how I feel about the hand too.

Partner will definitely expect another club, but perhaps all the extra values will make up for it - perhaps this hand will take the same number of tricks as a weaker hand with 6 clubs.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

I hate this hand. :)

Either open 1♦ and rebid 2♣ or open 1♣ and rebid 2♣, whichever style the partnership is comfortable with.

This hand is not a reverse. It is a great hand if there is a fit; but, without a fit, it is merely an above-average opening hand.

As mentioned in another poll, the answer largely seems to depend on which side of the Ocean you are on. No right, no wrong --just what you agree to open with non-reverse.

Partner also bids 2♠ over a non reverse, I expect almost everybody to pass this at IMPs, but this is matchpoints, anyone up for a joke?
