An extraordinary hand in the informal beginners session


Recommended Posts

The beginners are taught Acol, 3 weaks twos, weak NT.

I think this only went one down which would have been a good sac against an EW game except that despite the combined 27 HCP and a nine card heart fit, they have no game on. Quite a freaky hand.

Yes, extraordinary! Undeterred by partner's three passes at red/white, the beginner South recognizes the value of 6601 distribution and bids his best suit three times. Just think what would have happened if he knew about the unusual no-trump lol :)

 

Good hand to post as it teaches beginners that high card points are not the only criteria for assessing a hand.
