2H Not
enough tricks to open at the 1 level. Might be a hand to preempt and then
"St Albert". See Susan’s answer.
Bidding diamonds up to the 5 level is “St. Albert”.
BJ Trelford
1H 6-5 come
alive. All though this hand lack the quick trick and high card requirements
for an opener, it has the distribution for an opener. Better than 2♥ in
my opinion. ZAR points says that this is an opening bid.
Duncan Smith
2H This
seems to be a matter of style. I'm comfortable opening 2H. Hate Pass ,
& why come in later when I can sensibly enter the auction now?
Doran Flock
2H 6/5
Come Alive! Have 6 hearts headed by AK, so is it one heart or 2? I prefer
2, vulnerable shows a potentially very good hand, may offer some
obstruction to opponents. Hopefully won't shut diamonds out if we need to
get there.
Ken Penton
P Can
describe this hand once the opponents bid-and do not want to mislead
partner as to my defensive values. Agreed , misleading
partner is the theme of this hand.
Susan Culham
2H Will
back in with diamonds up to 5 level. Wow St. Albert !
Alex Fowlie
P Unlike
Zia, I don’t open 2H with 6-5 hands.
And I'm not quite good enough to open 1H. I’d need the Q of diamonds instead of the J (but Steve
Willard might well open). So, pass
for now and back in later (and hope it’s not at 4S when it comes back to
me).
Bryan Maksymetz
2H Hope to
get a chance to bid Diamonds naturally later in the auction. What a perfect
way to show an offensive 2 suiter! Perfect only for you , Paul Soloway & Zia J
RAY GRACE
2H , Non problem call the D2 the C 2. Suck it up,
try 4D over 2nt. :-)
P Duncan
Smith says this hand is a matter of style. Yes it is. As BJ Trelford has
been known to point out in describing pre-empting style . “The urge to get
the opponents is greater then the urge not to get partner”. This
hand is way too strong a playing hand for a weak two in my opinion. Change
my hearts xx KJ10xxx J10xxx void then I have a weak two bid .
Two defensive tricks , a 6-5 and a void is too much for partner to ever
dream of for making her decision after you open a weak two. Axx xx AKxxx
xxx 11 HCP by partner and we are cold for a grand slam in diamonds.
Partner will not move over two hearts. Axx xxx KQx xxxx a non spade lead and a 2-2 heart break
and we cold for 6♥ and partner will not even
think of moving over 2♥. Opening a weak two with
these kind of hands makes partners life miserable in coming to a decision .
You are trying to make the opponents life miserable at the expense of
making partners life miserable. The modern way of pre-empting so
called trade-off.
I personally pass as I need around 10 HCP with
distribution to open light. This hand can be described easily as a passed
hand. I play fit showing jumps as a passed hand if partner opens 1♦. If partner opens 1♠ , I bid 2♥ and shape out with my
diamonds. The “modern fear” of passing as you MUST do something to the
opponents when you have the chance. I just do not buy into the
philosophy.
I was watching this years Bermuda bowl where Paul
Soloway has bought into this modern pre-empt style whereas the Italians
have not. 1st seat vul vrs not Soloway opened 3♠ with Q10987xx J1098x x
void. Hammon raised to 4♠
with A Axxx Kx Axxxxx and 4♠
has no play. At the other table,
the Italian passed this hand. 1♣ in 3rd seat and
Rodwell bid 3♦. The Italians found their
heart fit and made +680. Who am I to say that Soloway was wrong and
the Italians were right ? The
Italians did win the Bermuda Bowl though J.

2NT I want to start with 2H but then the
auction gets too high quickly without my finding out about partner's
controls. 2NT will allow me to find out controls of partner at the 3 and 4
level. I think I want to be captain of this auction. See Susan’s answer “too
many captains spoil the broth”
BJ Trelford
2H Bid where you live. I need to indicate
my strength and where my points are before supporting spades. Yup
Duncan Smith
3H A strong jump shift to 3H followed by 4
Spades does a good job of showing this hand. If I'm not playing strong jump
shifts , I should be. Perfect !
Doran Flock
4C The much debated question of splintering
or showing your suit? I know we are playing in spades, so I splinter. This
is the easiest way to get to 7 and perhaps the easiest way to get to, or
avoid, 6.
Ken Penton
2H 4C is a close second but with the huge
trick taking potential of the heart suit feel it is better to allow partner
describe his hand to me than me to him. Yes , you do not need to control this auction
initially although you may later on.
Susan Culham
2NT I will be the captain of this auction
and need to find a diamond control from partner to key card in spades
looking for 6 or 7. Once partner replies to Jacoby I can use serious 3NT to
gain the information I need.
Alex Fowlie
2H This
hand would be ideal for 3H followed by 4S if we played strong jump
shifts. In Edmonton Standard, I
have to bid 2H and then invite slam with 3S, if possible. The key feature of my hand is my great
hearts, so I wouldn't consider either 2NT or a splinter.
Or bid a strong jump shift & see if Steve
catches on later J
Bryan Maksymetz
2H
Followed by 4S to show precisely this hand type.
RAY GRACE
2NT 2NT
Jacoby - No talking at the table. Be nice if partner bids 3D. Easy 4h over
3S and 5C over 4S. Can partner have AQxxx xx Kxx Axx ?
2♥ Duncan Smith is right on. What a classic hand for the strong
jump shift ! Unfortunately none of us in Alberta play the bid so we must
live without it or find a replacement. With my partners , I play 3♥ as a WJS in hearts.
Others play 3♥ as a splinter. In my mind there is a pecking order in
Bridge in what asset to show partner. A good suit as a source of
tricks is number one followed by showing 4 or more trump & followed by showing a stiff. I reserve a
belated jump to show the “fit showing jump” with an excellent suit.
Same hand but with clubs KJxx x xx AKQxxx and partner bids 1♠. I bid 2♣ and if
partner bids 2♦/♥ , I jump to 3♠. This shows the fit
showing jump with 4 trump. With the hand in question, I bid 2♥ and strongly insist on
spades. Hopefully partner will get the message that there was a method in
my madness and I have a source of tricks in the heart suit.

5S Not
enough to force to slam, double might be right; after a pre-empt, it is a
guess and my values are in the right suits.
BJ Trelford
6D Pick a major partner. The opponents did their
job. If you are not sure what to do, maximize your possible result.
Duncan Smith
5S Pard has
one diamond at most , so I should act with this hand. Small or grand slam
still in picture. I am a staunch believer in " The 5 level belongs to
the opponents ", but think this hand warrants an exception.
Doran Flock
5S Can't
be perfect against preempts. I bid the best of what I have and hope partner
can bid 6 if it makes. I think my hand is too good to double, which often
hangs partner and is left in.
Ken Penton
6D hard to
imagine a hand that partner would double on that cannot make 6 of either
major-if triple 4 1 and one ace I lose but appears he has a diamond
void
Susan Culham
6S The
opponents are such a nuisance...they have really applied the pressure. Oh
well, it's matchpoints.
Alex Fowlie
Dbl I’m
too balanced to bid at the five level – we could well be off two diamond
tricks and something else. So I
double (showing values, not diamonds) and hope that partner makes the right
guess. Operative word “guess” .
Bryan Maksymetz
5S
Trusting partner to know when to raise to 6. Yes , this hand is more partner’s decision.
RAY GRACE
Dbl I have values and D losers :-) Partner u decide
what to do. I raise all bids except C I correct to 6S over 6C
Pass I am
alone . Pre-empts, sacrifices & advance sacrifices make your life
miserable. The reason for that is that decisions are made single handed without
partners input. You are in effect “guessing” and the opponents have
done their dirty work. Do not despair as help is on the way. Forcing pass
theory used to just apply in obvious forcing auctions. As a result
of frequent pre-empts and sacrifices in modern bidding , this is no
longer the case. Forcing pass theory now applies when your side just
“owns the auction” . This term means partners action , the vulnerability
& opponents action determine whether this is your hand. Forcing
pass theory kicks in which is an excellent antibiotic against
pre-emptive germ warfare. Forcing pass theory brings partners
input into the decision making process and the pre-empter is actually used
to assist your auction !
The majority of the Bridge World panel said
that vulnerable partner doubling at the 3 level and a nv
opponent raising the ante to 5♦ determines
that your side “owns this hand”. They can not play this hand
undoubled even if they wrap it around our ears. As per forcing pass theory,
you double saying that the 5 level belongs to them. You pass encouraging
partner to pick a contract and lastly you bid if you feel that you can make
the contract. A pass and pull of the double is a slam try. My choice is pass
because I feel we can make a contract easy. Partner may have 5♥ and 3♠ so we found the best spot
of 5♥. I can assume
shortness in diamonds or I can pass the decision to partner who is
looking at the shortness. Say the pre-empters are mad people ( Zia ,
Soloway or Maksymetz ) and the diamonds are 6-3-2-2 . More of so called
“modern pre-empting”. I will honour partners decision if she doubles but am
cheering for a bid. Partner looking at a void in diamonds can bid 6♦ and we get to 6♠ with the correct
partner making the decision.
Quoting this years Bermuda Bowl again , Klimo gave
me this hand to illustrate combating pre-empts with this new
interpretation of forcing pass theory . AKx Ax AKxx AQ10x The
Italians were vul and the opponents not. P-P-3♥-X 6♥-P-P-? The auction has turned on
forcing pass theory. Partner’s pass should say lets bid something at the 6
level and no wastage in hearts. OK take out the KQJ of hearts and partner
must have 8-10 of the remaining HCP’s in the deck for his pass. With
distribution around the table , a 5 or 6 card suit is very probable. After
some thought , the Italian placed the 7NT card on the table. Lead came and
he claimed 13 tricks. Did I mention that the Italians won the Bermuda Bowl
?

P Will you
quit pre-empting!!! I will bid 6D over the anticipated double hoping that
partner can cue bid 6H
BJ Trelford
P A forcing
pass works good here. Find out what else partner has while showing an
interest in bidding more.
Duncan Smith
P Pass
& pull ( or cue ) to try to show this moose. If I had to make the final
guess for the partnership (mercifully I don't) I'd bid 7 Spades.
Doran Flock
6D I need
to bid, partner obviously has good spades ... so I bid 6D and hope partner
can cue bid the Ht K. Will pass a 6S rebid and raise 6Ht s to 7 offering a
choice of contracts.
Ken Penton
6D Partner
agreement required here but at worst he has KQxxx in his suit-6D should
solicit the heart K if held which should lead to 7NT
Susan Culham
6D Hoping
for the heart cuebid for 7 spades.
Alex Fowlie
6S Partner
should have good spades, quite possibly 6, so 6S is likely to make unless
spades break badly (likely on the bidding) and the K of hearts is offside
(unlikely on the bidding). If
partner happens to have a stiff diamond, I won’t even need that much. 6NT or 7S might make but there is no
room to find out for sure. Forcing pass theory helps
though.
Bryan Maksymetz
6D Will bid
7H over pards 6H and pass 6S.
Yes , unfortunately 6♥ by partner is
natural rather than a Q bid unless by partnership agreement 6♦ promises spades
rather than the message “bid something”.
RAY GRACE
6D Correcting
6H to 7S . Hard for pard to bid 7 N with KQJxx Kx xxx xxx, I will give him
a shot to bid 6H and say sorry of the HK is offside. Yes , 6♥ is a suit not a Q
bid.
Pass Same
nuisance bidding by the opponents as the previous hand but this time
forcing pass theory is automatically turned on by the 2♣ opener.
Using the opponents to your advantage means whenever you have a choice to
make the same bid ( in this case 6♦
) make one action stronger than the other. An immediate 6♦ bid is weaker than a pass
& pull 6♦ bid. The immediate 6♦ bid would be made on a hand
that you need a 1st round control out of partner say AJx
KQJ1098 Ax AK . A pass and pull is the strongest action possible
in forcing pass theory. Partner should bid 2nd round
controls for grand slam purposes. This way you elicit the heart King
from partner. Partner should hold
all the 1st round controls for a pass and pull. Hey , not a bad definition
for a “pass & pull” at the 6 level.

2S I don't
really like the KH but I think that I have to give partner one shot to get
to a game.
BJ Trelford
2S I have
spades and enough to bid a the two level. Whats the problem?
Duncan Smith
2S 2
spades or 2nt? A spade bid doesn't preclude nt., but a nt bid here would
preclude spades as a contract. Most modernists (I'm not amongst them) would
probably open this mangy bone polisher ( A dog ).
Doran Flock
2S Will
show spades first ... only 5 long as failed to open 2S. Will raise 3C to
3nt.
Ken Penton
2NT tells
partner I've a decent 10 count and something to protect. Hoping for a spade
fit is asking too much. Man after my own heart.
Susan Culham
2S Is this a trick
question? If you play fit showing jumps perhaps this is a hand to bid 3
spades. However, 3 spades may preempt you from reaching your best contract
of 3NT.
Alex Fowlie
2S In our
system, 2S is encouraging and would be forcing if I weren’t a passed
hand. Steve and I rarely double without
support for all unbid suits or a huge hand, so I need to protect against
missing game if partner has 4 spades (or 3 and a good hand).
Bryan Maksymetz
2S This is
a problem? YUP !
RAY GRACE
2S Pretty
easy
2NT More
to this hand then meets the eye. Doran honed into the crux of the matter
when he said he pulls 3♣ to 3NT. Even though partner has given the
death response of 3♣ you are bidding game anyway. You are saying a
flat 11 with queens and jacks with a king in the opponents suit is enough
to force to game after a two level overcall. Can not agree. The odds
are that partner does not have spades. With a heart opening bid ,
partner will bend over backward to double with spades. I even overcall a 4
card spade suit if I have a bad 5 card club suit and can not make a T/O
double . AQ10x xxx x AJxxx is a spade overcall for me rather than
2♣. You are a passed hand so partner knows more about your hand
then you do of hers. What bid in Bridge shows a flat 11 HCP with a stopper
in the opponents suit and a partial fit in partners overcalled suit ? You spade suit does not hide the fact
that you are 5-3-3-2 flat with NT suitable cards ( soft values) . If
partner has Qxx of hearts you must right side the NT so try it with a 2NT
bid ! Bidding 2♠ gives partner
rebid problems if she has a hand without spades which I feel is the
more probable hand. She may “wrong side” the NT contract with Qxx or
might just pass 2♠ or bid 3♣
when 3NT is the spot. 2NT is the most constructive bid towards game
and 2♠ is the most ambiguous
in my opinion. If partner bids 3♣ after your 2NT bid, you can pass with a clear conscience
that you described your hand the best you could rather than single handedly
driving the hand to 3NT.

P Is this a trick question? If you force me to bid,
I'll bid 1NT.
BJ Trelford
P My hearts
are too weak to bid opposite a passed hand and vulnerable. I don't like
going for 800. If the auction dies here so be it.
Duncan Smith
P A matter
of style & a "disaster-avoidance" philosophy. I haven't
overcalled at the 2 level on a suit this bad (and short) since I was in
university. Pass 100 All other 0
Doran Flock
2H
Obviously I would like a better heart suit ... but I am not passing
this good hand with the well placed spade K amongst other virtues.
Butcher must hold good passed hands J.
Ken Penton
P
Wonderful prime cards but risky to bid opposite a passed partner.
Will await developments. Dbl
Susan Culham
P Been
there, done that, chalked up -800. At this vulnerability I need a sixth
heart or a better suit.
Alex Fowlie
P Even
through my suit is really weak, I have such a good hand that I would
normally risk 2H (but not 2 of a minor) for fear of missing a heart
game. Partner is a passed hand,
however, reducing the chances of a game (especially given how light Steve
and I open) without changing the chances for going for 1400. So I pass.
Maybe I should have had two problems. One with a
passed hand partner & one without. I would overcall 1NT if partner were
not a passed hand. Chance of a game so get in there.
Bryan Maksymetz
P Close,
but no cigar. If someone put a gun to my head and said I must bid something
other than Pass, I would vote for 1NT.
RAY GRACE
2H I can get murdered here if the h's are stacked
but hopefully if it goes PP x P partner will xx or run with a stiff.
Pass . I was astounded when 50 % of the Bridge
World panel overcalled 2♥ vul in IMPS when partner
is a passed hand. What has Bridge turned into ? I learned over the years
that you “bid the table” and not just your hand. Partner is a passed
hand and your suit quality begs for a disaster. Here is Kantars answer.
“I do not pass these hands anymore. I find from experience that the
risk of a huge set is offset by getting to good contracts.” Kantar stick to play & defensive
problems please.

2C Spidey
senses tell me to pass. This is one where it often comes back to me at 4H
or 4S and I don't have defence against either. Unfortunately, partner may
have very little and we still can make game so I think odds say to balance.
2NT in balancing seat is the big hand so I can't bid that.
BJ Trelford
2D If west
rebids two hearts I can back-in with clubs my next turn. I will be on lead
so there is no need for a lead directing club bid.
Duncan Smith
P Don't
think we have game. Willing to lose a part score battle as opposed to
reopening & defending 4 spades. Expect to be the only passer , which
should tell me something. (It doesn't-I'm stubborn) You got your wish , you are the only passer.
Doran Flock
3C The
alternative to 3C, which shows a good suit and hand, is 2D ... a distinct
underbid in your 2nd best suit. Am giving up on diamonds to try and get to
3nt. IMPS
& games seem to go together .
Ken Penton
Dbl
Appears partner has trapped. If he elects to sit I do have decent
defense. Although 2NT describes the hand it eliminates other possibilities.
Susan Culham
2D Since I
cannot double, cannot bid an unusual NT, my options are limited here. Should
have room to show clubs later.
Alex Fowlie
2D 2NT in
balancing seat shows a 2NT opener with about 20 to 22 HCP, so that’s
out. And I really don’t like
balancing with a double with a two-suiter, so I bid 2D and hope to bid 3C
next. If partner has a trap pass of
1H, I’ll apologize after he makes 3NT. Yes , that is the risk.
Bryan Maksymetz
2C These
Diamond/Club hands are nasty. This looks more like a good 6-4 than a 5-5 so
I prefer 2C followed by 3D which I would bid if I was 6-4. Just tell partner
I had a Diamond mixed in, etc. Yes , with 14 HCP , the
odds that partner trapped decreases so you are just bidding your hand
rather than balancing. Risk involved though.
RAY GRACE
2D - too tough to bid if you bid C first. Easy
raise of 2nt to 3NT.:-)
3♣
The balancing spot is unique in Bridge. Bids have different meanings
and you must bid in accordance with your partnership “trapping style” . 2NT
is natural in the balancing showing 18-20 balanced with most
experts. This makes it difficult to show minor two suiters. The balancing
spot is not where partner is going to interpret a bid like she would an
overcall. A bid at the two level is usually quite weak as you just
bidding partners pass so intermediate jumps were invented just for
the sole purpose of making a constructive bid towards game. Given
the quality of the club suit , I cheat and call it a 6 card suit and bid
3♣ intermediate to show my 14 HCP and 3 quick tricks. If I am going
to lie , I prefer to lie with the objective of getting to game. Partner
will pass 2♦ with many hands that 3NT
is cold and the opponents might not co-operate by bidding again. You are vul
in IMPS and a mere 2♦ does not show 6 tricks
for a NT contract. A Dbl might work
but is more dangerous than 3♣ in my opinion , anyway. I also get my
100 honours if partner does pass J .

DA Partner
doesn't have a lot of values and the club king looks wrong. Maybe I can give
partner a ruff to beat this contract. Gets you a lot of matchpoints.
BJ Trelford
H6 Need to
get some heart tricks before the clubs are set up?
Duncan Smith
D10
Aggression required with my poorly positioned clubs & trump
breaking. Dummy shouldn't have any singletons (no splinter) & KJ alone
in diamonds will almost certainly net our side the maximum defense, or Kx
in dummy opposite declarer's putative J.
You may skip lead school.
Doran Flock
D10 To me
this is a toss up between the S8 and the D10. Given that the S8 is not on
the list, I am happy to go with the D10. This keeps the spade suit open for
us in the event that we have tricks there, and leads thru the strong
dummy. Hopefully dummy is relatively flat and doesn't have something
like the stiff D King.
Omitted the S8 to save you from yourself J
Ken Penton
H6 We need
tricks -attack and hope. Dummy is big and Club K is vulnerable.
Susan Culham
DA At
matchpoints I lead an Ace to have a look at dummy and signal from partner.
My club holding suggests this is a pull trump and run your side suit hand. Your diamond lead will get
you a lot of matchpoints & beating it will be a top on this hand
according to the Bridge World.
Alex Fowlie
H6 Tough
choice as any suit could be right and all suits are risky. With a potentially long club suit in
dummy behind my honours, I want to attack.
I don’t like leading unsupported Aces unless I have trump control
and a good reason to suspect partner is short – far too often it eliminates
a loser or sets up pitches for declarer.
So hearts it is. How
about under leading unsupported Aces ??
Bryan Maksymetz
H6
Presuming West to have a good 4??6 hand, it is very close between a
low Heart and Diamond Ace. As we have Club King, we should get 2 shots at
beating this contract. The heart lead requires less from partner to succeed
so that is my choice. Also, we may have to underlead the Diamond Ace to
beat to this hand.
RAY GRACE
DA Dummy is
hitting with a flat 20 with the CK in the lock and the S splitting and the
hand is unbeatable or it is hitting with 4315 and 23 have 4 tricks in the
red suits or a trump trick.
♦10 A few of the panel
has mentioned the obvious. The dummy is the huge hand and RHO is the
weak hand. Your club King looks like it is toast , so panic time. Deception
is a good tool in time of panic. The big hand is on the board so partner
should be aware that under leading an Ace is less risky in these
situations. Partner should not duck her diamond queen. This is a World Open
pairs championship hand. The winning pair led the diamond 10 and KJx was on
the table so declarer put in the jack. Partner won her doubleton queen and returned
one for a ruff. Unlucky - down one !
