I was wondering about that, too, JD. But I think he was referring to supporting actions or responses, not entry into the auction under pressure.

Some interesting contrasts between this hand and the 1♥ - (5♦) hand where we held xx KTxx xx AJTxx (I think).

I passed and feel slightly better to have a degree of support. We lost 8 IMPs when my hand bid 4♠ at the other table and this led to them sacrificing in 5♠-X, the par contract although it's unclear that you'll actually make 5♥.

I really hate the 1♠ opening with the N hand at these colors. It would be interesting to see how the bidding would go after a 2♠ call.

Lol, this logic sounds so familiar.

Yes the old weak 2 on a 6-4 13 count at favorable vulnerability. Welcome to 1955!

While I would open the hand 1♠, calling that collection of queens and jacks in the non-spade suits a 13 count is quite an exaggeration.

It's a better hand than

AJx
KQxx
Kxx
xxx
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

For play in spades? Yes.

For defense? No.

So 'thirteen count' means 'a hand that has comparable defence to a random hand with 13 hcp' ? :) since when?

I thought the side that bids tends to play the hand and the side that doesn't bid tends to defend.

Anyway I don't see an exaggeration. 4 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 13 it seems to me.

"cluck cluck" is correct.
Unless alarmed, then any literary license kicks in to express that alarm.

Thanks. I left my dictionary on the other side of the road.
