Question:
A preempt is usually good for one bid. However, both South and North have strong major suits. Should both of them continue bidding?
Glenna:
N was correct to open 1 ♥️ and I think E was correct to
Pass. South has the 1st tough call and can bid 1 ♠️ but never bid again or he can tell partner his hand is good
for nothing except ♠️ and jump to 2 ♠️. That shuts W out of any noise and they probably get it for
2 ♠️. The problem with 1 ♠️ is that gave W an opportunity to bid even though he didn’t
have a valid reason to bid 2 ♦️(a horrible suit). The 1st
“rule of bridge” Is to “get out” on a misfit and STOP bidding, 2 ♠️ would have been great.
So
the main point of this hand—stop bidding when you know you’re on a misfit!!!!
Neither N or S should keep bidding. 2 ♠️ takes care of NS and should
win the board. Although, if W doesn’t know how to bid and keeps bidding, double
him!
