At one table N opened 2♠ third in hand showing ♠ and a minor with a 7-11 range which is duly passed out and it goes 5 off un-doubled
Director is called for the psych and polls four players as to whether S should raise to 3♠ after the opening bid from Partner and all players indicate they would.....S was only asked by the Director about their actions taken after the poll of players
S believes there is no reason to bid with a weak hand opposite a weak and opps not finding a bid however will take action if opps get into the auction, in addition stating why do i need to bid 3♠ if P can play in 2♠
The hand was played at 20 tables with 6 tables making 10 ♠ tricks and 80% of the match points whilst being five off was a 60% board for EW 7 tables went off in 4♠....
Another table reached 2♠ by NS where N opened 1♠....
What reason does the director need to poll for given EW who were an experienced pair saw no damage and the board was worth 60% ? Are EW damaged by the psych ?
