This hand got passed out but the question here should be – who should have opened, S or N ?
Glenna:
S has 15 points counting the 3 length points in ♣️
and should open the bidding. Can’t image a pass unless it was a misclick or
accident of some sort. Some of my
partners would open 1 ♣️ and then jump in ♣️
because it’s such a nice suit.
N had a chance to
save the day and failed as well. The rule for opening in 4th seat is to count
your high card points and the number of ♠️. If it adds up to 15, you MUST
open!!!! Brave souls as myself would have opened 1NT because it’s the perfect
shape and only a point shy but I will get a lead INTO my hand and that’s an
easy extra trick!
It’s hard to
imagine both N and S passi. My goodness players, open ALL 13 point and a lot of
12’s! What a sad board and so unnecessary. I am going to email Ralph a sheet on
requirements for opening hands in different seats and ask him to mail it email
to the Monday group. So hope everyone will read it, study it, know it and use
it! It will be more than worth your time to spend on it.
