Apportion the Blame
Posted: 20 Sep 2022, 13:09
My partner and I bid this poorly in a recent club game.
Matchpoints, red vs. white.
* Fourth suit, artificial game force
** 1 or 4 key cards
This is a terrible contract. What do you think was the worst bid? How would you and your partner bid it?
By the way this actually made when a club was led and covered by the King.
Matchpoints, red vs. white.
