Weekly Hand Analysis - Rich Nordeng - May 13, 2024 - Game

 

Rich:

South should not bid over partner’s 4Clubs because that bid should be preemptive. Here, North is too good to preempt. North should start with 2Clubs, not 4.

Over 2Clubs, South can try 2Spades. North will bid 3Clubs. That will probably end the auction, though an enterprising South might chance 3NT.
