During the bidding assess a long suit and see how many
potential tricks in that long suit- AKQ432 is likely to be all six on a
good day and certainly five- its
not just any 9 points
TRY AND VISUALIZE how the other 7 cards are distributed amongst
the remaining 3 players.
INTERMEDIATES TIP 700
When
finessing with no back up cards do not play the Queen as they will
cover to promote their Tens and 9s in situations like this
A J 6 5 4
Play the 2 to the Jack and then play Ace and be pleased
K 7
10 9 8
the King is Doubleton
Q 3 2
ADVANCED TIP 700
When
playing Michaels Cue Bids (overcall) and also with UNT you really
should do it on very weak hands (6-10) or very strong hands 16+ and now
partner can judge if you are weak (most of the time) and when you are
strong and you bid on (very rare).
