by

Bridge News:

Here was a competitive hand at our Dec. 18 game. Before reviewing the bidding and play, try to visualize how the bidding might proceed, and then how the hand should be played.

Board 5: North was the dealer; North/South were vulnerable.

 

*Negative, promising at least 4 hearts 

Dealer is North and passes, as does East. South should open 1♠, though except for the 6-card spade suit, this is not a good hand. West will likely overcall with 2♣, and North should make a negative double, promising at least 4 hearts and not at least 3-card support for spades. East has a very reasonable raise to 3♣, which Read More

Bridge News:

There were 6 tables in play at the Dec. 16 game, a nice turnout considering the approach of the holidays!

During that pair game, this was Board #20.

Before reviewing the bidding and play, try to visualize how the bidding might proceed, and then how the hand should be played.

Board 20: West was the dealer; Both sides were vulnerable.

 

Dealer is West and passes, as does North. East has a solid 1♠ opening, and South is likely to overcall 2♦. Even with few HCP, West’s distribution might well prompt him/her to insert a 2♥ call. North is likely to bid 3♦, and East’s 3♥ should end the auction. Read More
