Judging low level competitive auctions

It would be a tyro's mistake to make an automatic three spade bid in front of partner and double cross him, but I envisioned the full layout. Partner has only helped push them a level higher in passout seat. He has undisclosed defensive values in a club contract. They have not expressly located a fit. East has triple-barreled as they say in no-limit hold em poker and his range is limited. For all these reasons, I decided to defend three clubs.

Welcome to Ramesh's BRIDGE BLOG

In these pages, I comment on hands from Bridge Base Online ACBL tourneys. I play in these with a variety of partners with different degrees of skill. I might present a hand or two from my collection of bridge books, every now and then. I am more interested in play and defense than in complex bidding systems, but I do follow the cut and thrust of Vanderbilt and World Championship Vugraph and try to keep abreast of expert practice in the obstructive and constructive bidding system department. I may also feature, newspaper-style, famous hands from important matches that I saw on Vugraph.

NOTE: For JUNE, I am experimenting with adding BBO's Handviewers, which make bridge movies embedded. Just
scroll down beyond the few sampled book covers and you arrive at the blogs that play themselves with the NEXT button. THANKS, BBO!!
