Big
hand and a big problem
This was a big hand in the Friday evening
pairs, but it ran into some obstruction:
|
The
bidding starts Pass-Pass-1-Double-3
-Pass-4-? 3 was Bergen over your double, a constructive
raise with 4 or longer s. Having doubled once, what can you do but
double again? It turns out the opponents
are bidding more on shape than points (no surprise). You don’t get very rich when partner passes
your second double, because opener has a void
and dummy a void.
It’s just another hand in the evening pairs with two voids.

Don’t
make it easy
This hand produced a swing in the Swiss
Thursday evening:
|
The
bidding starts 1-Pass-2-2-3-? It is no use bidding 3 here – that will just drive your opponents into 4. Either pass or bid 4 immediately - at the table this hand bid the game, was left
undoubled, and went down two for -100 – at the other table 4 doubled
made for a match winning swing.
