I find stories about slow
auctions fascinating. In bridge, every
bid takes an ounce of mental energy out of you – especially when you have a
good hand. One wrong move and the hand
is a ripe candidate for a “bidding disaster.”
Slow auctions with good hands are the ultimate tests in bridge. They test your patience, resolve, partnership
understanding, and take more energy than any other part of the game. When opponents blast into a 20% slam and make
it on a fortunate lie of cards, you have a right to feel bad – they just saved
a lot of their energy for the other boards.
When you pick up Ax, A98xxxx,
AQT, Q and partner opens 1NT, your bounds are anywhere from 4H (QJx, QJx, KJxx,
AJxx) to 7NT.
Only delicate discovery will allow you to find the right place for the
contract. When partner shows 3 hearts by rebidding 3H
after a transfer and a 3D bid by you, things are looking better already. Over 4S (Roman Key Card for hearts), partner
shows 2 key cards. Now what?
Let’s get a picture of their
hand: 3-4 spades, 3 hearts (Kxx or KJx), 2-5 diamonds, 2-5 clubs (with
A). Other than the K of hearts and the
club A, partner could have 8 (15-7) to 10 (17-7) points in clubs, diamonds, and
spades. At worst this is 6 to 8 points if partner has KQJ of hearts. You can count 10 tricks thus far -- 7 hearts,
1 spade, 1diamond and
1 club -- and 7NT is odds on
if partner has:
-diamond K and spade or club K (6 points)
-club K and spade or diamond K (6 points)
-AKJx of clubs but no other
K (8 points)
-KJxx of diamonds but no
spade or club K (4 points)
-KQJx of spades but no club
or diamond K (6 points)
-KQx of spades or club K (8
points), etc.
Bidding 5S should clarify
this as partner will bid 5NT with spade K, 6C with club K, 6D with diamond K,
6H with none (this is not possible since that gives partner QJ-, KJx, J-, AJ-) so they have something else worth 2 points. Partner bids 6NT showing 2 kings. Thus a
complicated assessment is resolved easily and the auction proceeds:
1NT 2D
2H 3D
3H 4S
5D 5S
6NT 7NT

TOP TEN REASONS WHY CHEATING IS MORE ACCEPTABLE AT
BRIDGE THAN IN SEX
10. Nobody expects you to play with the same partner for the
rest of your life.
9. When you squeeze
someone other than your partner, it won’t be considered sexual harassment.
8. You do not have to
hide your bridge magazines.
7. There is no shame
in playing bridge all by yourself.
6. It is perfectly OK
to hire a “Pro” to improve your skills.
5. In bridge, it is
recommended that you learn by watching others play.
4. Nobody expects you
to give up bridge when your partner loses interest in it.
3. You can openly
alert “could be short,” without embarrassing your partner.
2. When your partner
is not available, you can always play with someone else.
1. If you and your
partner agree to play “Two over one,” it will not be considered an orgy.
