What should I Bid? - Best enquiry for April 2008 The best submission for April came from Anne Paul. Hand: EW vulnerable, East the dealer, I was South:
Comments: I was told by partner that I should not
have bid and eventually we would have got to 6 So should I have bid 3 Sartaj's Reply: Hi Anne, It is very courageous to step out at the three level with only 6 HCPs. Admittedly we have great shape and entering the auction could be the key to our winning the board. The downside however is that partner will often have a balanced hand and will bid too much. I would recommend passing over 2 On the actual hand, entering the auction (by your hand) did happen to be the winning move. Partner's hand was a monster and after they hear about the spade fit, I believe that they should force to slam. Sartaj Hans |
