Sensational years-ahead

Mr. Meek Pulls Smart Play A Bit Short Of Sensational In recent columns we have been discussing what to do when nartne’- opens the bidding and second hand overcalls. Mr. Meek’s decision to pass in that situation in today’s deal may seem little short of sensational to many players. Actually it was a sound decision and deservedly brought the North-South pair a fine result. . North dealer North-South vulnerable North (Mr. Abel) S - A 8 3

The bidding: North East 1C IS

Pass

When second hand does overall. you are no longer obliged to give partner another "chance” by bidding on skimpy values. Any bid you make is a free bid and partner will rightly expect more from you than if you had aid over a second hand pass. If a free bid in your own suit must be at the two level, you .'hould have an average hand in high cards, provided partner can rebid his suit at the two level. Need Strong Ham! But if your bid will force partner to the three level just to make a simple rebid of his suit.

| then you should have the equal of . > an opening bid m your own hand j ; When your problem is complieat- | : ed by holding a singleton in part- | i ner's suit, yon had better have 1 a reaJlv strong hand. Mr. Meek’s situation today J I falls into the last category. He I correctly decided to pass and his | | singleton club had a lot to do ! I with his decision. If he had bid two hearts, con- j j sider the problem Mr. Abel would ; | have been faced with. He had ! opened the bidding first-hand i ! and thus was obliged to bid i i again. (M BS OR NO TRI .MI*? ; Would he have bid three clubs I j on his trashy suit or two no trump on his minimum honor holding? In either case, the result would not have been giaxi. Against normal defense, three no trump would have been down three or four tricks for a thumping set. Three clubs or three hearts would have been very little better. But playing against the one spade contract. Mr. Meek irpened his lone club and was able to raff two clubs later. Mr. Champion was held to seven tricks. The 30 points he entered on his

core was much less than the j ore he would have enjoyed if |
