| The Blackwood roundabout |
Show Detail |
Yes this is a real roundabout........well almost!!! (29/9/26)
if you go up the M80 and leave at the B4048 you will find the real one.
Yes, lots can go wrong with Blackwood which includes -
- You should not use Blackwood on this hand;
- Partner gets the answer wrong
- Partner answers correctly but you misinterpret it
This is shown on hand 18 this week. Ordinary Blackwood (even RKC) is NOT appropriate. The bidding shown is almost the way it went against us.
Blackwood should never be used on this hand. As it is if partner's 2 keycards are ♠ A and ♠ K the slam is a reasonable gamble but if it is the 2 black Aces the slam is poor.
How can I tell you say?
Well, the first pointer is that a void in partner's first bid suit is, almost always, bad and the hand will often play at least 1 trick worse than you expect.
As you can see even game on this hand can go wrong. How can you get the warning? By the clever use of fourth suit forcing but that is a story for another day.
