However, you cannot build your whole biddding approach on such pessimism. 4S will have reasonable chances with Hand A if partnjt has no more than five small spades, so you should risk it. Hand B is strong but it will play vjty badly unless partnjt has a length in spades and an entry card. I would try 4C. My failure to bid clubs earlier suggests this sort of hand. ——————————————————————————————————4/5—— To list events, ring 0118 935 1054 Please give two months' notice Green Events On Stage CinemaP154 Teletext 154 Maz02 03:46:04 —————————— —— BRIDGE PLAY TECHNIQUE - Ditik Remington S 8 7 6 3 S A Q 4 H A K Q 6 4 W E H 9 7 5 D Q 7 6 3 D A J 4 2 C Void C 10 5 3 South West North East 1NT 2H 3C 4H North leads CK.
