What would you open
the hand below first in hand not vulnerable against vulnerable playing
a knock-out teams match?
Having made your mind
up look at the full deal below.
Jason Hackett opened
three spades, the North hand guessed to bid three notrumps, making all
the tricks. In the other room West opened two spades and North
doubled. When South bid three hearts, showing values since he
didn't bid two notrump lebensohl, North checked for key cards and bid
the grand slam. Aggressive bidding gained 16 IMPs for Jason's
team. Jason said afterwards that he would only make such a
bold pre-empt first or third in hand and at this vulnerability.
