In this case, with no fit in his
partners suit and with strength in
both of the opponents suits,

there was nothing for North to do
but pass and allow his side to take
a set, whereas they should have
been able to penalize the East
West players at any bid they got
into.
Three-Spades seemed too dam
gerous to North, as his partners
holding in that suit might have
been as weak as his was in hearts,
and if that were the case 3-No
