Americas Card Authority

The pre-emptive three-bid, which
I have advocated for several years
and which is used by great many
players, is made on hand contain
ing a suit of six cards or more head
ed by the ace-king-queen, or sew
en-card suit Cor more) headed by
the ace-king- jack. 1t needs no side
strength, and tells your partner your
holding all in one bid.
I have been asked many times,
What should 1 do when my part
ner makes pre-emptive three-bid?"
The only answer is, do whatever
your hand calls for. Your partner
has told you all the facts concern
ing his hand.
In today's hand, for example,
when South bids three diamonds,
North should not be satisfied with a
bid of three no trump. He should
bid four no trump, not BlackWood
bid, but a straight four no trump.
South of course should bid five
diamonds, and North is wise to Sc
lect the contract of six diamonds
rather than six no trump. The five
diamond bid had told him that
South could not play no trump.
Even though the diamond queen
does not drop, the hand is made by
discarding the losing club on the
good heart.
