In competitive bidding at a high level, you nearly always have three choices: passing, doubling and bidding higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You double to score a penalty for defeating the contract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You bid higher to make your contract or if you think that your opponents have a reasonable chance of making their contract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You pass when you are not sure, often to let your partner make the final decision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Can my opponents make 5&#x2666;?<br>No, they passed over 3&#x2666;. They declare 5&#x2666; not in order to make it but to prevent us from scoring 4&#x2660;=. There is no way we will let them play in 5&#x2666; without doubling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can we make 5&#x2660;?<br>Yes, my partner may hold &#x2660;KJxxx &#x2665;Kxx &#x2666;xx &#x2663;xxx for instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there more to win in 5&#x2660; or 5&#x2666;X?<br>5&#x2660; will score more since vulnerability is not in favour of doubling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can I pass to let my partner make the final decision?<br>In theory, yes. In practice, no. The robot doesn&#8217;t identify my pass as forcing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decide to try 5&#x2660;. My partner is very likely to have the hand mentioned above. He will often hold 5 cards in &#x2660;. With 4-4 in the majors, he would have made a bid other than 4&#x2660;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dummy scares me. The &#x2666;Q is useless. The &#x2665;Q can be taken with a finesse. Hopefully, North has the &#x2665;10. I can cover the &#x2665;J return with the &#x2665;Q with no risk and since the &#x2665; don&#8217;t break 6-1, I don&#8217;t lose any ruff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5&#x2660;= scores 86%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am aware that I have been lucky. If the &#x2665;J or &#x2665;10 had been with the opening leader, I went down. Sometimes what makes a good or a bad decision is not much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deal 2: 15 sure tricks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-2-45.png\" alt=\"Donne 2\" class=\"wp-image-81237\" style=\"width:337px;height:531px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-e11384a\" data-block-id=\"e11384a\"><style>.stk-e11384a{height:10px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My hand has 16 HCP but must not be assessed that way. Because of the 8-card suit, counting your points is not relevant. I have nine sure tricks and only one unguarded suit. I can easily make 3NT opposite &#x2660;xxx &#x2665;Qxxxx &#x2666;Jxxx &#x2663;x.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1&#x2663; opening bid has advantages but I choose a strong opening. I can open artificial strong 2&#x2663; and show my &#x2663; later or choose a game-forcing 2&#x2666; opening. Although my hand rather matches 2&#x2663;, I choose 2&#x2666; for several reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If my partner is not terrible, I want to play in game in offence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If my partner is very weak, the favourable vulnerability will push me to bid 5&#x2663; in defence against a likely 4&#x2660; or 4&#x2665; bid by the opponents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I am interested in showing aces over 2&#x2666;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it is always standard, the game-forcing 2&#x2666; opening bid, with ace response, has many drawbacks. Most top players are no longer using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this deal, it is very effective. My partner shows 2 aces, which allows me to count 12 immediate tricks. When he jumps to 7&#x2663;, he necessarily brings one more trick. I can easily sign off in 7NT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My partner has 17 HCP. He could have directly bid 7NT over 2&#x2666;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Card play is pointless. I will not try the &#x2666; finesse to make +3!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7NT= is worth 90%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-e110e91\" data-block-id=\"e110e91\"><style>.stk-e110e91{height:20px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-4e135d2\" data-block-id=\"4e135d2\"><style>.stk-4e135d2{height:20px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deal 3: Be pragmatic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donne-3-47-743x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81238\" style=\"width:337px;height:531px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When it is my turn to speak again after the 3&#x2665; pre-empt, I have the choice between two options: take-out double and 4&#x2660; (3&#x2660; would be non-forcing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to play in game in &#x2660; or &#x2663;. The grand slam in &#x2663; is still possible if my partner holds &#x2660;x &#x2665;Ax &#x2666;Axxx &#x2663;Axxxxx. But how to get there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I start with a take-out double, it will be complicated, if not impossible, to investigate for slam in a minor and a minor-suit contract, which usually leads to a disappointing score in pairs games, is likely to go down. Nobody is held to the impossible. I decide to be pragmatic and jump to the contract which is most likely to make: 4&#x2660;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-stackable-blockquote stk-block-blockquote stk-block stk-103c256 is-style-highlighted\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"103c256\"><style>.stk-103c256{box-shadow:0 5px 5px 0 rgba(18,63,82,0.035) !important}<\/style><div class=\"has-text-align-left stk-block-blockquote__content stk-container stk-103c256-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-3153805\" data-block-id=\"3153805\"><style>.stk-3153805{box-shadow:0 5px 5px 0 rgba(18,63,82,0.035) !important}.stk-3153805 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child,.stk-3153805 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g,path,rect,polygon,ellipse){fill:#2793f2 !important}<\/style><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-3153805\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-3153805-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-3153805-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"info\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-info fa-w-6\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M20 424.229h20V279.771H20c-11.046 0-20-8.954-20-20V212c0-11.046 8.954-20 20-20h112c11.046 0 20 8.954 20 20v212.229h20c11.046 0 20 8.954 20 20V492c0 11.046-8.954 20-20 20H20c-11.046 0-20-8.954-20-20v-47.771c0-11.046 8.954-20 20-20zM96 0C56.235 0 24 32.235 24 72s32.235 72 72 72 72-32.235 72-72S135.764 0 96 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-0f2bf4c\" data-block-id=\"0f2bf4c\"><style>.stk-0f2bf4c .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important}@media screen and (max-width:1023px){.stk-0f2bf4c .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><strong><strong>Remember:<\/strong> <\/strong>Opponents&#8217; pre-empts make it much harder to find a slam.
