LEAD WITH THE ACES

ANSWER: There is as yet no official Wolff ’s Law. I have laid down the law in so many areas it would be hard to define just one. Among the conclusions I have come to in a long life at the table is that 4-4-4-1 hands play disappointingly on offense, but always play nicely on defense. Stretching to open three-suited hands is a fine way to turn a plus score into a minus; this hand is a solid pass, not a light opening bid.
