LETS PLAY BRIDGE By BILL COATS The term bidding rained fai real by the late Dorothy word psychic has stayed us Generally speaking means bidding what you dont have or bluffing in older to create the illusion of strength or to con ceal a weakness As with my other bid or call in contract bridge the opponents are entitled to as much Information your partner Therefore when you make a psychic bid you col not only the opposition but your partner as well the ore two opponents to one partner that your psychic will work DISRUPT SEQUENCE Even when the opponents know that you are making a psychic you can often disrupt their sequence enough to achieve a good result Here Is an example from the Acton Bridge Club where a psychic bid paid off West dealt with NorthSouth vulnerable NORTH SKI0B4 C875 D10B74I EAST Sfl7 HA3 CKJ83 SOUTH HKQ96 D- CAQ2 The bidding EAST SOUTH PASS PASS ID IS PASS PASS PASS Opening lead four at diamonds Kants opening bid is routine and so is take out double West was looking at a near bust hand With favorable vulnerability he darkled to indulge in some fancy bidding Since the opponents probably had a spade suit he bid one spade to try and steal their suit This is reasonably safe since with ten high cards points or more he mutt redouble He can bid anything he likes but so long as he redouble he cannot hold ten points SHOULD DOUBLE North should double the one spade bid to show some strength In spades West decided to cloud the issue further with a two no trump bid arter South has introduced hearts By now everyone at the table knew that west was making a psychic bid But how can the opponents know what he really has If West gets doubled at any time he simply bid diamonds When the three heart bid is passed around the West be quits He has kept the opponents out of a sure game so why bid on Sure enough declarer made twelve tricks marts BETTER TRUMP to passing I would like you to note that hearts with a fourfour split makes a better trump suit than spades which are fivefour In hearts you can discard a club on the long spade and then ruff a club The same cannot be done at spade Contract Last weeks winners at Acton Bridge Club t Bill and
