He's added quite a few gimmicks to his original convention, and it may be wise to check with your next partner's interpretation of the new Blackwood bids. Easley's general rule now reads: I A When my partner's last bid was in no trump, a 4 N.T.

bid by me is a no trump raise and a 4 clubs asks for aces. (B When my partner's last bid was in a suit, 4 N.T. asks for aces, and 4 clubs is either a cue bid or a natural bid. C) This leaves out those sequences where my partner's last bid was either a a "double" or maybe it hasn't been his turn yet. A few examples follow: A.

You Part. B. You Part. 1 So Sp 1 Sp 2 4 NT 4 4 NT C. You Port.

D. You Part. 1 Sp 2 1 Sp 2D 3Sp 4 NT 2Sp 4Sp 4 NT 4 NT asks Aces in these cases. A. You Port.

B. You Port. 1H 2 NT ISp KorlD 4 NT 2 3 NT 4 NT C. You Port. 1 Sp 2 2 3D 3 NT 4 NT 4 NT Is a natural bid In these cases.

A. You Part. B. You Part. 4 Sp 4 NT 4 4 NT In (A) 4 NT asks partner to bid his best of the three remaining suits.

In (B) Blackwood advises to interpret 4 NT as the unusual no trump calling for partner's best minor suit. 1 A You Part. You Part. 4C 4 NT 4D 4 NT In these cases Blackwood favors 4 NT as asking aces although in (A) he says that some partnerships could agree to play 4 NT on that sequence, while in (B) some partnerships could agree that 4 NT is the unusual NT bid in that sequence. In the sequence 3 Double, 4 4 NT, Blackwood says 4 NT asks to bid his best minor suit.

In the sequence (You) 1 Sp, (Part.) 2 NT, (y) 3 (P) 3 NT, (Y) 4 (P) 4 NT, 4 NT would be a sign off.

Know your rights You are the dealer but before you have a chance to bid or pass, your left hand opponent passes What should you do? If the offender does not call the director, you should say to him (or her), "Do you mind if I call the director?" When the latter arrives you tell him the circumstances and he will tell the offender "This is a call out of rotation, the bidding reverts to the proper player and you must pass at your next turn. You may bid later if you get another chance." RESULTS M.A.A A.A.: Mr. and Mrs. J. Standfast; Mrs.
