Weekly Hand Analysis - Glenna Shannahan - July 17, 2023 - Bid


 Question:

W is holding a hand with 21 HCP and 2 5-card majors. Partner has 9 HCP and can cover declarer’s short suits. What bidding sequence would maximize the potential of this hand?

Glenna:

Not sure but assume 3 ♦️ was Reverse Bergen. Let’s bid the hand without 3 ♦️ and see if we can get to slam which makes without a ♣️ lead and that would be a horrible lead from N so let’s bid the slam!

              

               N                           E                            S                            W

 

      P               P                    P                   1 ♠️

 

      P                      2 ♠️       P                  4 ♥️

 

       P              5 ♣️ *         P                    6 ♠️

 

* Partner I know you have 20 some points and I like ♠️ but does my A of ♣️ help you? W says yes because I have the ♥️ suit to make pitches if needed. A nice, cold slam that gives you bragging rights for great bidding. Hope this helps.

See You At The Tables,

Glenna
