Weekly Hand Analysis - Vic Johnson - December 13, 2021 - Law of Total Trump

 

Question:  Should W support partner’s overcall of a weak 2 H bid ?

Vic:

The 2S overcall by East promises a 5-card spade suit. The Law of Total Trump dictates that East should subsequently bid 4S. 

Law of Total Trump: Do not be hesitant (even vulnerable) to compete up to the level of your total number of trump. More often than not, it will earn you a good board. 

Ten Trump = Ten Tricks = Four Level
