A large proportion Of the questions
submitted by correspondents are in
reference to a taSe-out Of partners no.
trump when second hand has passed.
Every player has his own pet theory
and the writer is no exception. In his
opinion, a player should overbid part
ner's no-trump under the following
conditions:
(a) Having an original bid in
either major suit;
(b) Any six or more cards IN either
major suit;
(c) Any two five card suits;
td) Any five card major suit il the
hand contains a void suit,
singleton or no help for part
ner's no-trump.
In any discussion as to the advisable
ity of taking out partners no-trumP
bid with a bid of two hearts or two
spades. careful consideration should be
given to what the no-trump bidder
should do. That is, if the dealer bids one
no-trump, second hand passes and the
dealers partner bids two hearts or
spades, with what type of hand should
