Quick Answer: I would argue that for inexperienced players a good partnership agreement is to NEVER sacrifice.
Comment #1: In the example above EW should have made a penalty DBL of the 5H contract. That would have given them a top score of 1100.
Comment #2: South raise of Opener's Weak 2H bid is flawed. It promises three card heart support.
Comment #3: When experienced
players sacrifice, they know far more about the hands (distribution/point
count/scoring possibilities/etc) than do inexperienced players. When inexperienced
players sacrifice, they are usually just flipping a coin. I refer to
that as "Ho Chunk/Slot Machine" bridge (not good bridge). Bridge is
not a game of chance - it is a game of knowing all the odds & making your
decisions accordingly.
