- Ummm Steve, I usually agree with your posts but not this time. In
- third seat this seems a reasonable 2S opener at MPs. At IMPs there is
- a chance of missing game opposite something like Kxx,xxxx,Kxx,Kx so 1S
- is right, but at MATCHPOINTS 2S seems to be a decent choice.
-
- That said, I would probably open it 1S anyway; just don;t think 2S is
- result merchanting at all.....
