| Greetings!
This week's Deal of the Week features a most unusual action: a preemptive opening bid in fourth seat!
Take a look at the West hand and imagine the bidding went three passes to you. What action, if any would you take?
The idea in fourth seat is to open the bidding when you think you are a favorite to make a plus score. If you think the hand belongs to the opponents, you should pass out the hand in order to avoid a minus score.
Preempts in the fourth seat are very rare. They do occur occasionally though; for example when one has a near-opening bid with a long suit, but is reluctant to open on the one-level for fear of being outbid by perceived opponents' major. West, for example, might reasonably open 3 in fourth seat, hoping to silence the opponents' with their presumed spades and/or hearts.
At the club, West opened 3 in fourth seat and, after two passes, South (who apparently forgot to open 2  at his first turn) reasonably chose to balance with 3 , which was passed out.
The result? Down one, +100 for East/West. Mission accomplished. West was right to open, rather than pass in fourth seat. |
