One of the opponents has my suit covered.<br /><br />How could you have enough of a trump stack to beat this contract at the 2-level, when I'm looking at Qxx?<br /><br />Bridge bidding is not a formula, but rather a conversation using the language available and trying to interpret the conversation.<br /><br />Interesting auction.<br /><br />Larry Jennifer Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110894426262469233noreply@blogger.com
