Hand of the week - 11 June 2026

Click on SHOW to read report from Mike Newport

After South’s opening bid of 1C West best bid is to double. North is tempted to bid 1H, but with only 4 high card points this will give the wrong information to partner, notwithstanding the 6 card suit. If North has the opportunity later in the auction and suddenly comes to life with a bid, it will be clear that the hand is weak, but the suit probably is a six-card suit. East is short on points but with an interesting distribution is advised to jump to 2S. South may bid 3C, but this is risky vulnerable after partner has passed and both opponents have bid. West, sitting behind the opening bidder and holding 15 points can bid either 3S or 4S: in view of the jump from East the latter bid may be the best choice.
