The Meek Shall Inherit...
There is nothing wrong with the weaker hand taking over and
bidding Blackwood.
Greed is a Terrible Thing
Once
you have found a fit, strive to play slam in a suit, rather than
in 6NT (even at duplicate scoring).
What’s Your Hurry?
4NT
should NOT be your first bid when partner has opened one of a
suit.
It’s Now or Never
When
partner opens 2 ,
and you have a good club suit and a decent hand, respond 3
immediately.
Help Me, Partner
When
you know you belong in slam, but do not know where to play, jump
to 5NT to ask partner for help.
Out of Control
Avoid Blackwood unless you have controls in all of the unbid
suits.
The Great Debate
Don’t just close your eyes and bid Blackwood — give cuebidding a
try.
Not Tonight, Dear
Once
an opponent opens the bidding at the one level, you do not have
a slam.
