Bridge News Sheet 285

This week’s bridge news sheet No. 285 has ten articles.
It starts off with a player overcalling a weak NoTrump holding ♠KJ107542 ♥109 ♦4 ♣J54, the 500 away was a clear bottom when they had no game. Next you hold ♠AQ32 ♥A108 ♦5 ♣AK642 and the uninterrupted bidding goes 1♣ - 1♦ - 1♠ - 2♦ - ?, what do you do? Then we have a player holding ♠A10 ♥9 ♦J1082 ♣AKQ1074 who removed his partner’s 3NT bid in the middle of the auction to 5♣! (9 tricks were available in either contract of course). Then there are two articles where people ignored  The Law Of Total Tricks and both got too high vulnerable. There are then two articles where it starts: bid, double, redouble - in this situation responder is generally looking for a penalty and on both ocassions the opener bid to let them off the hook! There are the usual two Dave columns on the play of the hand and finally a discussion about the ethics when an opponent asked about your bid and partner gave the wrong information.
