If you have 5 hearts, open 1H.  If your partner has 4 spades, you&amp;#39;ll hear about that with a 1S response.  So what&amp;#39;s the problem?  All it does is take away a diamond preempt and get you too high when you don&amp;#39;t have a fit.  You&amp;#39;re just asking for your opponents to lead trump and take you for a ride.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8314337641002386924/4102584253047253336/comments/default/6947190921697516446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8314337641002386924/4102584253047253336/comments/default/6947190921697516446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.doublesqueeze.com/2008/12/conventions-you-cant-live-without.html?showComment=1269633349906#c6947190921697516446' title=''/><author><name>Meg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18023166613491155634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='14886575489061978205'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.doublesqueeze.com/2008/12/conventions-you-cant-live-without.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314337641002386924.post-4102584253047253336' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8314337641002386924/posts/default/4102584253047253336' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314337641002386924.post-6715743832640373094</id><published>2010-03-17T21:56:07.795-04:00</published><updated>2010-03-17T21:56:07.795-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Would you consider adding Flannery 2D to your shor...</title><content type='html'>Would you consider adding Flannery 2D to your short list?
