Bridge Lecture Partner pre-empted, WHAT TO DO NOW? By Andras Honyek 17.July, Opatija, Croatia
How to count Playing tricks 13 minus Number of losers = Number of Playing tricks
Strength of the pre-emptors main suit and side values GOOD SUIT! NOT MORE THAN ONE KING or ACE on the Side
The Rule of Two, Three, Four 1. Unfavourable vulnerabilities add 2 tricks to the value of your hand; 2. Equal vulnerabilities add 3 tricks to the value of your hand; 3. Favourable vulnerabilities add 4 tricks to the value of your hand.
Example They ve opened 1 in front of us, and we need to bid with: KQJ9753 73 852 4 1 loser in , 2 losers in , 3 in and 1 in - 7 losers 6 PTs -in unfavourable vulnerabilities 6 PTs + 2 added tricks = 8 => overcall 2 -in equal vulnerabilities 6 PTs + 3 added tricks = 9 => overcall 3 -in favourable vulnerabilities 6 PTs + 4 added tricks =10=> overcall 4 (What about if you had 852 73 4 KQJ9753)
Example The left-hand opponent opened 1 , partner overcalled with 4 with favourable vulnerability, right-hand opponent bid 5 , and we need to decide what to bid holding: K82 T9 A763 8632
QUIZ 1. You are second to bid, no one is vulnerable. Your RHO opens 1 . What would you bid with the following hand: AQJ842 64 3 J853
QUIZ 2. You are third to bid. You are not vulnerable, your opponents are. Partner passes, RHO opens 1 . What would you bid with: 8 2 KQJ95432 974
QUIZ 3. You are in first seat, both sides are vulnerable. What would you bid holding: AKQT642 4 652 63
QUIZ 4. Both sides are vulnerable, LHO opens 1 , partner overcalls 3 , RHO bids 4 . What do you bid with: 974 A7542 K964 6
QUIZ 5. You are not vulnerable, the opponents are. You pass as first, LHO opens 1 , partner jumps to 3 and RHO goes to 4 . What would you do with: Q72 852 8632 A75
QUIZ 6. Both sides are vulnerable. LHO opens 1NT (12-14), partner overcalls 3 , RHO bids 4 . What would you bid with: J964 K742 A42 Q2
