diana_eva Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Got a funny hand today in a random free tourney on BBO. I was playing with a semi-regular partner. We did have some system agreements, but nothing on psych. Any way we could have avoided being screwed up on this one (we were EW)?

whereagles Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 You can abide by this rule: "cue of opener's suit = ART, cue of responder's suit = NAT". Doesn't always work ok, but it's fine in like 98% of the cases. On this particular hand West could have bid 2♠ (nat, 5 spades, 18-20 or thereabouts), after which East has an easy raise.

PhantomSac Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 If west was going double and bid spades they must still do so even when LHO bids 1S. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
