Question: Should E have opened this hand? Or was this a case of a
“lucky” bid. E/W made the 5H contract.
Glenna:
I would not open this hand 1 ♣️; if I opened it, I would bid
3 ♣️. It shows this hand
perfectly. A ‘1 bid” promises 13 points, 2 quick tricks and a rebid and this
hand doesn’t have 13 points or 2 Quicktricks!. Open it 3 ♣️ and W will bid 3 ♥️ and you can raise to game.
Or, if you pass and W opens 1 ♥️, you can now count your ♠️ void and will get to a ♥️ game. Do not make a bid or call that shows your
partner the wrong information and you’ll win more often.
