Weekly Hand Analysis - Glenna Shannahan - Monday, April 5, 2021 - Reverse

 

Question:  How does E keep bidding open to go to game in 4H?

Glenna:

  The problem with this hand is that E did not recognize W’s Reverse. A reverse promises 17 or more points and shows the 1st suit is one card longer than the 2nd suit. The entire table should know what W has at least 5 ♣️ and 4 ♥️,  East MUST bid again and would most likely bid 2 NT with his 10 points. West would then bid 3 ♥️ showing that he has 6 ♣️ and 5 ♥️ so E has a really easy bid of 4 ♥️,

  If we ever get our Youtube up and running, I’d like to do a class on a reverse. It’s a great tool to have in your toolbox and sometimes allows an easy path to game or slam.

  Hope this short explanation helps,

Glenna
