"As you can see, four hearts Is
practically a spread. I made 10
tricks and just looked reproach-
fully at my partner, but he thought
it was my fault. Shouldn't he have
bid over three hearts?"
Perhaps North should have bid
over three hearts. South's bidding
shows a willingness to go to the
level Of three, vulnerable against
two bidding opponents, and Norths
three hearts, singleton spade and
filters in the minor suits should be
enough to provide good play for
game. An expert in the North
seat would undoubtedly go to four
hearts If he had a reliable partner.
But unless North had confidence
in his partner, the bidding may
have sounded bit as though South
had run to three hearts to get
away from an undesired three
diamond contract. Also, it takes
good player In the North seat to
realize that he has shown nothing
at all by his bid of three diamonds;
he is still free to bid whatever
values he really has.
South could have avoided both of
these obstacles by bidding two no.
trump instead Of doubling two
spades. That would undoubtedly
show strong hand and encourage
North to 60 to game with just
about the sort of help that would
be needed for game. It might re-
suit in mediocre no-trump con-
tract in place OF a good heart con-
tract, but it would have the virtue
of showing the strength of the hand
beyond any doubt.
