So why did north bid 4♠ with at best 9 points?That would be because it badly uses a malformed version of the law of total tricks- it has to raise two levels with 4 trumps. Obviously your hand could have been better the J♥ is a waste of HCP better to have the A♣ than K♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Obviously your hand could have been betterbut then south can accept an invite.have to say that while I have some sympathy with OP I can also construct reasonable 4S hands which would not accept. It depends in part on the full def of 2S. In my experience a lot of the stated definitions are a bit abridged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
