Overcall or jump-overcall? - 2006/11/20 23:34 *Matchpoints*

Suppose I've a hand that qualifies for a weak jump overcall (i.e.
safe 6-card suite and at most one outside feature), but that's also strong enough for a simple overcall. Should I make the weak jump overcall or the regular overcall?

Please give any guidelines that you can, providing sample hands where necessary.

Thank you

Overcall or jump-overcall? - 2007/08/10 15:40 It would be easier if you gave the hand, vulnerability, and position at the table (i.e is partner a passed hand?). Also, would the jump overcall be at the two level or the three level? The question as posed is virtually unanserable. If partner is a passed hand then this leans towards the weak jump overcall. If partner has not bid then do not pre-empt him. But, as I said, we need the actual hand, vulnerability and bidding.
