- A Bridge Swifty
- ‘An opening bid that light must have followed two passes’ Tom inferred
- A Bridge Swifty
- ‘How could you pass my 2C opening?’ asked Tom forcefully ‘I must reduce my trump length to that of the defender’ Tom cooed. ‘My discard of the 9 was standard attitude” screamed Tom in a high-pitched voice ‘I thought it was reverse count’ replied his partner oddly.

- I don’t really see how 4 card majors help. Partner opens 1♣ playing 4 card majors, don’t you still have to bid an anaemic 4 card major in case partner is 54 without the strength to reverse?
- Three-card raises--- are they automatic?
- The OP does specify match points, BTW.
