Three pieces of advice:
Three pieces of advice:
- with 6 cards in ♦ always bid ♦
- With 5 cards in ♦, bid 1 ♦ with a nice suit (otherwise 1 ♥ or 1 ♠)
- With 4 cards in ♦,
- 1 ♦
- With a very weak hand, 4 4 card in a Major and at least 3 in the other (you'll pass on next round)
- And also with a very strong hand : you'll be better able to explore slam opportunities .
- 1 ♥ or 1 ♠ in other cases
It os often with common sense and by looking at extra and wasted values that you will find the best option.
- 1 ♦
