13th Dec – Board 10: Game All. Dealer East.
Knowing when to keep quiet
at bridge is just as important as knowing when to be bullish, a fact well
demonstrated by the following hand when too many people did too much bidding.
That’s how I think it should go and even 2
♥ is in some jeopardy against best defence. East would like to bid over 2
♣ of course but what options are really available? The heart suit is lacking the impletion to consider a no-trump call, which is the only really viable option open but I can tell you from years of experience that it is far better to get out as soon as possible when a misfit looms on the horizon. Of course West must not even consider bidding again either for that would impel partner to join in the fun. Expensive fun, as it might turn out.
I agree with the Expensive bit!
