ROYAL STARS
Where is he?
Here’s where the Little Man is hiding on the cover of today’s Datebook.
MYou don’t have much and neither does partner. Stop bidding before the doubling starts. Pass.
Opening 1NT with 5-4-2-2 distribution has become commonplace, but this hand should be easy to bid naturally. Open 1H.
This hand is just barely worth a raise. Bid 2S.
Had East passed, you would have bid 4S. East’s double gives you the option to pass, showing at least some forward-going interest if partner has extras. Pass.
9 tricks are easier than 11. Forget about raising clubs and bid 3NT.
3S or 4S? All those intermediates should be worth something. Bid 4S.
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The New Moon is exact in Capricorn at 1:33 p.m. EST today (10:33 a.m. PST).
