Similarly, South looked upon the clubAK and he was sore afraid. Afraid that they would not be pulling their full weight when in a slam contract.

So there you are, simply overcall on a heap of rubbish and the oppo will miss a cold slam. Of course, you might go for 800 with only a part-score available. That's the beauty of this game. It's like the weather and the stock market. You just never know what to expect.

Apart from West's bidding that is - he'll in there again with his three points.
