GOOD ARTICLES

USEFUL TIPS

(1) AVOID JUMPING STRAIGHT TO 3NT WHEN RESPONDING

South

K 8

T 9 6

A 8 5 3

K Q J 7

North	East	South	West
1H	Pass	2C	Pass
2H	Pass	4H

South should avoid making an immediate response of 3NT. It takes a lot of bidding space and leave opener no room to describe their hand. 3NT might not be the right contract or a slam might be missed if opener has a strong hand.

Better to just make a forcing bid of 2C and see what partner bids next. In fact there is no hand where you need to respond 3NT after a 1 opening, as you can always bid any 4 card suit!

(2) DON'T PRE-EMPT WITH A 4 CARD MAJOR

Don't open the bidding with a pre-empt if your hand contains a four card major in addition to the pre-empt suit.

Pre-empting tends to shut up your partner so you may miss out on a major suit fit and even miss a major suit game.

If North pre-empts with 3c South will have to pass. Although South has opening points it is not enough to change suit after a pre-empt (need 16+).

WELCOME TO AYLSHAM & NORTH WALSHAM BRIDGE CIRCLE WEB SITE

Aylsham and North Walsham Bridge Circle was formed in 2000 to enable players who were new to the game to practice in a "No Fear" group before moving on to play in other clubs. The group has changed over the years and currently has over a hundred members of all abilities playing Duplicate Bridge on Monday and Thursday mornings at Aylsham Lodge Hotel. New members and visitors are always welcome but must be sympathetic to less experienced players.
