TIP OF THE MONTH-JAN.& FEB. 2010
When you are the responder and your partner opens one of a suit, the general
rule is to bid up the line; you should disregard the strenght of the suits and
bid the cheapest one first [ that is the lower ranking one first.] There is one
controversial case. When your partner opens one club and you have four diamonds
and a four card major. With a hand of 6-10 ponts bid the major first.With a
hand of 11 points or more, bid a diamond first. You have enough points to make
two forward going bids.
Some partnerships always bid up the line, while others with weak hands will bid
the major first. HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH YOUR PARTNER AND MAKE SURE YOU BOTH
ARE PLAYING THE SAME WAY.
