| The law will save you 25/8/26 |
Show Detail |
When the law of Total tricks was first mentioned in the English language I was told that it was so contraversial I should not teach it. However, it really works in more ways than was first realised.
Hand 11 shows you why. The law states that if you add the number of cards in your best combined suit and opponents will have a similar number of cards in their best combined suit. If you add those numbers together that gives the number of tricks available in the two best fit suits.
An example will help. If partner opens 2♠ (weak) and you have 3 spades. Your best fit is 9 (6+3) and so their best fit is 9. If your side can make 3♠ they can make some contract at the 3 level. If you get only make 2♠ they can make 10 tricks in some contract.
You will usually be able to tell their best fit.
Now back to the hand. Should you bid your diamonds or pass? Think before pressing answer.
|
| Show Answer |
Partner should have 6 clubs for their bidding. So your count is 7. If your count is 7 so is theirs. If you can make 3♦ they are going 3 off in 2♥; 3♦ is 110 3 off is 150.
Easy pass now. |
