What is it about the first hand of the session? You sit down hoping for a nice, quiet 1NT with seven top tricks - no more, no less. You'll be happy, and the oppo will also be content that nothing much happened. You might even enquire about their health, although you wouldn't listen to their answers. Dream on, because I bet the great shuffler-dealer in the sky will give you a grotty 1-4-4-4 eleven points, the bidding will rapidly reach 5, and he'll be encouraging your partner to bid one for the road with his nice 5-3-1-4 seventeen count. Oh yes, you'll be declarer ...... and the trumps will break 4-1 of course. Next Page
