- * A couple bidding problems came up on one hand in a Swiss Team event.
- *
- * 1) Vul vs. not, you hold in 4th seat:
- *
- * AKQxx Ax Ax AKQx
- *
- * LHO Partner RHO You
- * Pass Pass 3H ???
- *
- * How do you plan to bid this hand?
-
- I start with a double. Over 4D, I can bid 4S.
- Over 4C or (yeah, right!) 3S, I'll cue bid hearts,
- see what partner does, and then decide.
- Probably wind up in a small slam.
-
- * 2) At the other table, the auction went like this:
- *
- * West North East South
- * Pass 2D (1) 3H
- *
- * (1) weak
- *
- * East intended his 3H bid as a weak jump overcall; he knew South had a
- * big hand and wanted to shut him out. West thought 3H should be a good
- * hand, invitational to game with long hearts, because he learned that
- * you're not supposed to preempt over an opponent's preempt. In the actual
- * hand, West had a near-yarborough and wasn't going to make a move anyway,
- * but I'd like your opinions on this auction.
-
- The way I learned it is "You don't preempt a preempt",
- so 3H should have been a strong hand with hearts.
