N opens 1 ♦️ and E bids 3 ♥️, S must pass as he has nothing to say. W must also pass because of his ♥️ void: If he had JX, stiff K, 3 small, he would raise to 4 ♥️. Because he has a void, he should pass.
Now this is the interesting part: North MUST bid 3 ♠️ and not ♦️again!!! A very common theme
for less experienced players is to show the same values over and over. North
has shown ♦️ by opening 1 ♦️ and now must bid 3 ♠️. Partner will know she has 5
or more ♦️ and probably 4 ♠️. Once E has preempted, he cannot (should not) bid
again. S can now bid 4 ♠️ and the hand is finished!
The important thread here is: Do not rebid same values a 2nd time. Partner
heard you the 1st time and knows you opened 1 ♦️ so now show your 6-5 or 6-4 hand by bidding ♠️! I see people open a 5-card and when in doubt, rebids it!
NO!!!! Do NOT show the same thing twice—bid 1 NT, 2 of a minor or
PASS.
Before you rebid a suit, make sure you don’t have a 2nd suit to show or to bid
NT—never allow yourself to bid the same suit a 2nd time—it would be better to
pass than to repeat!
