Bidding

Be a nuisance

Reel 31 of 33

Would you bid with this?

Thomas Bessis in the final of Spingold broke all the rules and bid 2 with such a bad hand. Why?

  1. He was Not Vul and the opponents are Vul. That is the #1 time to do more.
  2. Bidding hearts is great for the lead - if he had honors in the minors he would have less need to make this bid.

Bidding got in the way, at the other table they didnt bid, picked up 13 imps

Rule

When NV, especially against vulnerable opponents - Bid good suits, don't pass. Be a nuisance!
