spades and when four spades, and
which is the stronger bid?
There are two different schools
of thought ON this point. Some
say, the more you bid, the bigger
your hand; but ! disagree with
that theory. In my opinion the
bid of three spades over one spade
Is the bigger bid, and there Is a
definite reason for 1t.
Let's look at today's hand. South
has a nice hand but cannot bid
more than ore spade. West, vul-
nerable, cannot overcall.
Now North has the choice OF
bidding three or four spades. If
he bids three, under the theory
that this is bigger bid than four,
he is telling his partner, first, that
he has control of two suits; second,
that in his opinion there are no
losing trump tricks: third. that he
would like to hear further from
partner If the latter does not have
minimum hand.
If South were TO bid four spades,
North would be justified In pass
ing. But South's hand is a good
one, with another suit that he can
hsow. If he held two diamonds,
he would not be justified In show
ing the second suit, but with the
singleton, he should bid four
hearts.
North makes the proper response
of five clubs. showing control of
the club suit. SOuth's bid OF five
spades says. 81 have nothing
further to tell you. ! do not have
the ace Of diamonds"
North takes little risk In max
ing the six-spade bid. as certainly
South, In order 10 bid four hearts
without the act OF hcrats, dia-
monds or clubs. must have either
the king OF diamonds or a single
ton diamond. OF course the hand
Is a spread for six-odd.
