You are prepared for any response by North, though admittedly if hj is weak you might regret it! Occasionally, hj might pass your double for penalties. With Hand B you must pass. You'd love to make a penalty double, but one ism't available! If you double, North will probably remove to 4S, turning a useful plus into a large minus. North is short in diamonds and his pass suggests that hj is rather weak. ——————————————————————————————————2/4—— WEN a trip to Lapland 465 To list events, ring 0118 935 1052 Please give two months' notice Green Events On Stage CinemaP154 Teletext 154 Jan29 00:27:32 —————————— —— BRIDGE PLAY TECHNIQUE - DEREK REMINGTON S A K Q 2 S 6 4 H A K W E H 7 3 D K Q J 10 D 8 5 4 2 C K 5 2 C J y 7 4 3 West North East South 2C No 2D No 3NT End North leads HQ.
