Iiamlet's Sanity

Whether or not Hamlet was In
sane is question which has dis
turbed critics for 300 years. 1t is
interesting 10 know that most of the
profound thinkers who have given
the question deep consideration re-
gard Hamlet as sane. 1t would

Immediate Game Bids: {:
Pre-Emptive

Original bids of four in a major
or five in a minor show holdings
of abnormal distributional value
(trump lengthy, but do not promise
any defensive honor-trick strength.
An original bid Of four In a ma
jor suit shows (not vulnerable) Z
playing tricks; (vulnerable) 8 play
ing-tricks. No honor strength in
side suits.
An original bid of five in a minor
suit shows (not vulnerable) 8 play
ing tricks; (vulnerable) 9 playing
tricks. No honor strength in side
suits.
Examples of pre-emptive (game)
bids are:
(Not Vulnerable)
Four Spades:

H-None C-62
Five Clubs
S-None 10942
H-None C-KJ987642
If any value is to be realized from
hands of this type they must be
played at their suits, and the part
ner should be warned of the fact
by an immediate bid for game. From
it's very nature, an original bid of
this character can never be con-
strued as an invitation for slam.
Pre- emptive bids are especially
effective at contract because,
though the many high cards missing
from your hand may be against you,
the spectre of drastic penalties usu-
ally so terrorizes the opponents that
they do not venture to over-call
your pre-emptive declaration unless
entirely sure Of their ground. Thus,
at a slight risk, you can often shut
out a game or slam which the ad-
versaries might readily have discOv-
cred had they been allowed the op-
portunity for an exchange Of infor-
nation.
For instance, If the dealer of the
following hand, not vulnerable,
should pass, the opponents could
probably get together for a small
slam at spades. Singly, it is doubt
full that either of them would over
call an original bid Of four hearts.
especially if they were vulnerable.
