- Just for fun, how about this sequence?
-
- S N
- 1S 2NT(1) (1) Jacoby 2NT, forcing raise in spades
- 3S(2) 4D(3) (2) No singleton or void, non-minimum. If your agreement
- 4H(3) 6S is to rebid 3NT with this hand, fine.
- (3) Cue-bid
-
- North's plan is to bid 6S no matter what, and to cue-bid diamonds
- along the way to try to inhibit a diamond lead. I wouldn't bid this
- way every time. It depends on who my opponents are, how we're doing
- in the match, what my table feel says, how much alcohol is in my
- system, . . .
