PLAYING FOR THE BREAKS
Certain types of players be- Hieve that Slams should never ba. bid unless the odds are greatly in favour of their being made; other players believe that they should be bid on the slightest of excuses
even if the odds are dec finitely against their fulfilment. Personally, I believe both these schools to be incorrect: A vul- [nerable Slam should be bid on only a fifty percent chance, while a non-vulnerable. Slam. requires only Ja little more than an even chance. Of course, the most important feature of all is the ability to play dificult hands correctly.
The hand given below was played in the semi-finals of the recent team-of-four event at As- bury Park,
