Use puppet stayman more

Reel 36 of 43
0 today

Use puppet stayman more when you only have 1 major. Don't let the opponents know what you have.

I like this auction. Declarer (partner) has not told the opponents much about his hand. Contrast with using normal stayman

Here the defence knows that declarer has 4 card hearts - why tell them?
