It doesn't always pay to be crafty. DAILY QUESTION Partner bids one spade and the next player passes. You hold: A 9 7 4 2 8 4 9 3 2 7 3. What do you say? ANSWER: Bid two spades. You have good trumps, five points in high cards and a doubleton.

MARCH-9 Opening lead A 2 FAKE CUE BID When North raised to three hearts, South wanted to be in a slam, but he was afraid of a club lead. South therefore made the fake cue bid of four clubs. Normally, this sort of bid shows the ace of clubs and slam ambitions. North was pretty sure that his partner was throwing a spitball, since the ace of clubs was in plain sight in his own hand. Having no more to add to his previous bids, North signed off at four hearts.

South thereupon jumped to six hearts and waited with a calm face for West to make the opening lead. DEAD GIVEAWAY bidding was a dead giveaway to a really expert opponent. When bid four clubs, his partner gave him no encouragement at all; but still jumped to six hearts. What had South found out by bidding four clubs? Obviously South had not been trying to give information to his partner; he had been trying to give misinformation to the opponents. West came to the correct conclusion that South didn't want a club lead.

Therefore West defiantly led a club. This defeated the slam. The defenders were sure to get a club and the ace of spades. CORRECT JUMP If South had jumped all the way from three hearts to six hearts, West would have opened Dual Innocent Pleas In Burglary Two Sonoma County men have pleaded innocent in Marin Superior Court to charges of burglary and concealing stolen property stemming from the burglary of a San Rafael residence Feb. 5.
