PASS 1D
PASS 1H PASS 1NT SOUTH How many times have you opened
a minor suit and re-bid 1NT to
show a 12-14 point hand ?
Slide 3:
Why not open this hand 1NT
12-14 ? Do you not have any idea of the
grief, or indecision you will cause
upon the opponents ? Especially
Your LHO.
Slide 4:
If you were holding this hand and
your RHO opened 1D, wouldn’t
you over call 1H ? If he opened
1S you’d bid 2H wouldn’t you ?
