Hi ,


Sometimes we need to think before making the "obvious" opening bid with a hand. Consider how your partner might respond to your opening and what you plan to rebid.


Would you select a different opening bid to facilitate an easier auction the rest of the way?

Your choice! Leave a comment to explain your thinking.
