| Craig Hemphill Hand Analysis West | North | East | South | | 1♠ | Pass | 2♠ | Pass | 3♣!1 | Pass | 3♠ | All pass | | | | The auction in the bidding diagram is the only possible way that NS could possibly stay out of game. Reliance on potential losers and cover cards for those losers and tailoring the bidding to both could possibly make a case for staying out of game. South, with eleven HCP, will consider a limit raise, the choice of those who focus on points -- 1NT forcing plus a jump to 3♠ will describe a limit raise and three trumps. North will bid game, without much discussion by the pair whether the values are fitting. Those pairs who use more of the Losing Trick Count evaluation for major suit raises and game versus part score decisions will see the South hand as a nine-loser hand, alternatively a hand with three potential cover cards with a couple of jacks tossed in for plus values. Those pairs will raise 1♠ to 2♠, despite the extra jack counted by the point-counters. North then will make a game try, and what can be better than a try in a suit that tells partner to count as plus values honor in all three of the other suits, but not in the suit bid? Using short suit game tries, that is the explanation for the 3♣ bid. South's hand is devalued and 3♠ will end the auction for the very few players who follow the views expressed in this analysis. While the main focus of the hand's play problem might be on the unlucky lie of the trump honors, there is also the serious problem of the diamond suit with only three trumps to cater to ruffing them. I'd be pleased to be in a partnership that could rationally stop in a part score on this hand at matchpoints. But the field will generally be in game, down one or two.

|

| Craig Hemphill Hand Analysis West | North | East | South | | | Pass | Pass | Pass | 2♣ | Pass | 2♦ | Pass | 2NT | Pass | 4♦ | Pass | 4♥ | All pass | | When North shows 22-23 HCP balanced, South should simply force partner to play game in hearts. Even the 4-1 trump split and the 4-2 diamonds cannot prevent taking eleven tricks. The only losers will be one spade and one trump trick. For example, on the lead of the ♦Q, North should win and lead the ♥K. West should probably duck, and then another heart can be won by West, when a diamond is as good as anything. North wins and plays ♠A and then ♠Q, West winning, but then a club would have to be led. North can play the ace, then two spades, discarding the remaining non-trump losers, followed by ruffing a club to draw the remaining trumps. Making 5. A club shift when West wins the ♥A fares no better: The ♣K is allowed to win, and a diamond continuation will be won with the ♦K, followed by the ♣Q and a winning spade finesse. Then the diamond loser will disappear on the ♣A and the spade loser having been eliminated, ♠A and a spade ruff to draw trumps. Easy game, this bridge. Fun, too!

| Craig Hemphill Hand Analysis West | North | East | South | | | | 1♥ | Pass | 1♠ | Pass | 2♠ | Pass | 4♠ | All pass | | Assuming that a heart lead is rather unattractive, a black suit lead lets 4♠ not only make, but make with an overtrick. Will East lead away from the ♦K?? Unlucky, I say, that there is a defense to 4♠, bor the contract is attractive just looking at the NS hands. Quite unlucky for those NS pairs who bid but fail to make.

|

| Craig Hemphill Hand Analysis West | North | East | South | Pass | Pass | Pass | 1♣ | Dbl | 1♥ | 2♦ | All pass | Having passed, and owning the majors, with a couple of quick tricks, West is within his rights to make a takeout double with that perfect pattern. North will offer hearts, but East, having originally passed, is eager to get into the fray. Hmm. To the best contract. So much for thinking East should open in third seat without quick tricks, majors, or a lead-directional suit bid that does not at the same time distort the pattern.

| Craig Hemphill Hand Analysis West | North | East | South | | 1♦ | Pass | 2♦ | Pass | 3NT | All pass | | OK, so South does not quite have enough for an inverted minor raise, but it's close, and what else would you have South bid? 1NT is a sad bid with two horrid unprotected suits, and manufacturing a 1♠ bid (better three card major to avoid a worse call), might result in playing the 3-3 fit. Well, at least it makes 2♠.... But if South will just "like' his quality points and upgrade a bit, then 3NT can be reached (an inverted 2♦ call shows about limit raise or better values, and North's 15 make bidding some game the likely best. Maybe a bit lucky that there are nine irrefutable tricks, no finesses, no promotions. It warms the heart to see evaluation rewarded.

|

| Craig Hemphill Hand Analysis West | North | East | South | | | Pass | 1♠ | 2♣ | Pass | 2NT | Pass | Pass | Pass | | | Some will open the East hand, out of boredom, when South will overcall 1♠ and West will toss out 2♣. East will reluctantly bid 2NT and that, too will be passed out, South very reluctantly. After a heart or spade lead nine tricks are easy -- one trick in the suit lead, the ♦A, and seven clubs. I don't see how EW can cater to that occurrence. Playing notrump rather than clubs will be sufficient to garner several matchpoints, surely well above average.

|

| Craig Hemphill Hand Analysis West | North | East | South | | | | Pass | Pass | Pass | 1♦ | Pass | 1NT | All pass | | | The outcome of 1NT contracts are hard to predict, for the bidding usually does not provide much of a clue to the best opening lead. North may lead a spade, which is not as bad as might first appear, for despite losing an easy trick to the ♠Q, North's spots will work well upon South's later return of the suit. Declarer will do best by ducking the second spade trick. Nonetheless, 1NT is ironclad after the spade opening, as declarer will smartly shift to diamonds, setting up two spades, one heart, three diamonds, and one club. The question is whether the defense will give more.

|

| Craig Hemphill Hand Analysis West | North | East | South | 1♠ | Pass | ? | | So much depends on methods here. If East plows ahead with 3NT, the heart fit will be lost. If East bids 2♣, West will bid 2♥ if scientific, and 4♥ will be found. 3NT is a makeable contract, but 4♥ should be preferred when the hand with weak trumps has the opportunity to trump a losing diamond in some variations.

The real reason the hand makes is the unexpected reduction in spade losers in the North hand. That is the key.

| Craig Hemphill Hand Analysis West | North | East | South | | | Pass | Pass | Pass | 1♥ | Pass | 2♣ | Pass | 4♥ | All pass | | South's hand is borderline for Drury , and it would not be much off base to criticize the 2♣ bid as being overly optimistic. That being said, 1♠ is clearly wrong, hiding heart support when a later preference to 2♥ after a 2♣ rebid by North would suggest pained preference with a doubleton heart and no positive prospects. South would do the partnership a great disservice by bidding 1♠ unless prepared to bid 3♥ next after 2♣. So the hand becomes a decision between a lame 2♥ raise by a passed hand or a slight overbid promising useful values and trump support. Since 2♣ does not promise the world, and any subsequent try by North can safely be refused, 2♣ seems to get the entire message across. North will not wait for further decisions and simply contracts for game. Four hearts is a cold contract, while five depends on guessing the club situation.

|

| Craig Hemphill Hand Analysis West | North | East | South | | | | Pass | Pass | Pass | 1♦ | Pass | 1♠ | Pass | 3♠ | Pass | 4♠ | All pass | | | If anything, 3♠ is an underbid, but it should suffice to get to almost all making games, while leaving a bit of room for a really weak response. 4♣ would be a Splinter bid, which is a significant overbid. Better diamonds and most often a heart control would be advisable. 4♦ rebid suggesting spade support and four good spades is miplaces, for the diamonds should be more nearly solid. No, the decision is between 3♠ and 4♠. 4♠ will get West overly excited, but as you can see, slam is really not that far off base. I cannot see how any pairs could miss game, but those things do happen, s 4♠ making five will be just an inch over average.

| Craig Hemphill Hand Analysis West | North | East | South | Pass | 1♣ | Pass | 1♥ | 1♠ | Dbl | 2♣ | Pass | 2♠ | Pass | 3♠ | Pass | Pass | Pass | | | West was just shy of a light opening bid, with that really nice shape and aces. Had the ♦A been the ♣A (making ♣AJ54 in all, rather than the actual poor holding), a 1♠ bid would have been completely in order. North will lead the ♣K, which, when the ♣A is ruffed, holds the declarer to contract.... there is no second club ruff!
