EHAA - Other Preempts

Other Preempts

EHAA bidders open three and four level preempts extremely light, and with tightly defined strength. As a rule, any hand which qualifies for a two-bid should not be opened with a preempt below the game level.

At the three level, nonvulnerable preempts show six card suits or longer, and seven if vulnerable. With unfavorable vulnerability, the preempter should have five or six losers; six or seven with both vulnerable; seven or eight with neither vulnerable; and eight or nine with favorable vulnerability.

Preempts at the four level promise at least one card more in length and one fewer loser.
