WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE OPPONENTS MAKE THESE WEAK BIDS? • The same rules apply for X’s • The same rules apply for overcalls • The same rules apply for bidding NT’s JUST be mindful that you might need slightly better point counts, as you are bidding at a higher level 9
How strong do you need to be to enter the auction? When you are uncertain as to whether or not to enter the bidding following the enemy pre-empt, imagine that your partner holds a fairly balanced hand of about 8 points. If this is enough to give you a good chance to make whatever you are bidding, then get bidding! 10
