- Yes. The hand above is much weaker than the second one.
- There are (at least) two reason for this;
- * Holding KJ8 behind a weak twobid improves this holding a lot, it is now worth
- about 1.9 tricks, initially it might have been 0 tricks. AKx is two tricks
- regardless of who opens.
-
- * In the second problem (below) your LHO has passed, thus decreasing your chanses
- of going for a number.

- What would I bid with the first hand (AKx/Dxxx/Tx/AQxx)? Well I feel strongly
- for passing (especially at matchpoints where any plus-score rates to be good.
