Very interesting 3♦ preempt as well, at your table....And all this time I thought I make crazy preempts.

He obviously read your post on the rule of 1,2,3 and 4....and extrapolated to 6 or 7 :P

Don't worry.....your pre-empts are still crazy B-)

Haha, guess what? I told myself "Oh shoot... Mike will jump on my @$ for this post" before this reply of yours. Posted Image

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

Don't like the 4nt bid. 3nt looks obvious to me. The 3h bid does not guarantee 3 card support, so why the hurry? 3C has already shown a good hand. Mind you, I don't play 2 over 1 .

Spade 9.

I could write a lot explaining my choice. In part it is because nothing else appeals, and in part because this is very unlikely to cost immediately, and in part because partner may well have a stiff spade. Meanwhile, the 9 may create a misleading impression in declarer as to how the suit lies, and may cause him to go wrong.

Great lead!
