Evaluation - Pseudo Sacrifices (Trump )
PITBULLS:
Do
not set partner up
for bad competitive decisions ! If you have a stack in the opponents suit do
not encourage partner by bidding . I was playing with
Stan against Klino and Nick, the auction went I♣
by Klimo nv & I
overcalled a heart vul & Nick bid 2♦ . Stan bid
2♥ and Klimo had this hand

Klimo bid 3♦ which I
feel is a horrible bid . I leapt to 4♥ vul and Nick encouraged by the vulnerability & partners trump
support sacrificed to 5♦ . Stan
doubled & we were
plus 300 instead of –500 in 4♥ X where Judy and Gordon played it . It this Nicks fault ? No , when you have a trump stack in their suit – stay out of the auction partner !!
