What do you bid?
ANSWER: Your correct opening bid is one- spade. Many players like to open this hand with three, but such a bid is inadvisable because if the op-. a big heart or' ponents really have diamond suit, your three-bid won't shut them out anyway. At the same time if your partner has a good hand, your opening three-bid may keep you from a possible Slam.
Score 100% for one spade, 40% for three spades.
QUESTION NO, 418.
David Bruce Burnstone is your partner, both sides are vulnerable and again you hold:
