I was playing the other night and had a 16 point hand. I had 5 spades and 4 clubs. My partner had a nine point hand, with spades and clubs, but higher clubs. I bid one spade, the next person bid 2 diamonds and my partner did not bid. We could have had a strong club hand, but without a bid by my partner we never got to this. Does one not bid a minor if their partner starts the bidding with a major? Hi,

A great tutorial on hand evaluation. These things are discussed in my books, and I learned them from expert teachers and from books like "The Secrets of Winning Bridge" by Jeff Rubens (Editor of "The Bridge World" magazine) and I think he learned them from Edgar Kaplan (they are in a Kaplan's book I read as well). Chayan is lucky to have you for a mentor. I wish there were a way to get this blog page linked from BBO's teaching area so that it could get wide dissemination. I'll try to link to it from my Simplicity Bridge website. Wow Linda! A great tutorial on hand evaluation.
