BIDDING ANALYSIS
By Ely Culbertson.
The bidding on this hand offers a lesson in analysis. The first overcall, as every experienced player knows is sound in all sys- tems. but it sometimes falls into catastrophic sets whereas many psychic bids, on weaker hands escape unscathed. That's why Iwe have, bidding systems-which are the formulation of probabili- ties as too the outcome of bids. West's hand warrants an overcall of one spade both because of its honour-tricks and promising pat-| Etern, and in the great majority off deals the bid would come to no bad end.
