Ralph,
This is a theme that we’ve talked about often, but must need to teach people to
practice using the theory. We bid SLOWLY with good hands and go QUICKLY with
bad hands.
W
must bid 2 ♦️ NOT 3. (Partner will think W
had 8 -10 points and not much outside of the ♦️ suit and it usually says we can play only ♦️either 5 or 6). E will bid 2 NT showing 22 - 24 points and
now W can bid 3 ♦️ showing a good hand and a
minimum of 5 ♦️. E now knows W has a good
hand AND they have a fantastic ♦️ fit and can check for # of A
and can bid 7 NT.
Knowing the partnership has a super fit is AS important as knowing how many
points each person has. You must know how to show both I order to be a
competent bidder. Using only points doesn’t cut it. Here is an example:
AKxx. AKxx. Akxx. A. 26 points and the
hand can take 7 tricks for sure.
AKQJTxxx.
x. xx. xx. Only 10 points but can take 8 tricks in ♠️
