Glenna:
A traditional “weak freak” is 5-9 points, 5 trump and a singleton somewhere in
the hand! I have to be honest and say I often break the rule of a singleton and
half the time we make it and half the time we go down. Think the best policy is
for the partnership to discuss how they should bid a hand with 5 trump and play
it accordingly.
The South hand can NOT get excited with their 19 or 20 points as the MOST
North can have is 9 and that only makes 28 so enough for game, but no
interest in slam. The books say slam can be bid with 32 and that’s true
for suits as you can ruff losers. I have learned over the years that I need 33
for a NT Slam.
Hope
this helps,
Glenna
