Today’s hand wee amusing to
everybody but North and South
The joke happened to be on them,
but it was all their own fault
There was no reason for North’s
takeout double of one heart Its
ah right to shade a takeout double
when you have good distribution,
but it’s just asking fortrouble to
make a light double when your
distribution is the worthless
4-3-3-3. .
Nobody would blame North for
doubling with the same high cards
if he had a singleton heart and
four cards in each of the other
suits, and with that sort of hand
North wouldn't actually get into
much trouble.
When East very property re-
doubled. South should have stayed
out of the auction to let North
look for a rescue. The partnership
might have struggled into two dia-
monds, at which five tricks could
be won. This would be no bargain,
since East and West would not
have bid a game if left to their
own devices, but st toast it would
not be a disaster.
Against the actual contract of
one no-trump doubled, Wert open-
ed the three of spades. Declarer
played low from the dummy, and
East won with the king. East re-
turned the deuce of spades. West
put up the queen, and dummy won
with the ace.
