Excerpt from book: CHAPTER IV A FEW ARGUMENTS AGAINST PREEMPTIVE BIDS In the preceding chapter, I showed you what poor team-work was done by the pre-emptive bidder. In a former book, I described the frequent danger and the absolute futility of preemptive bids. They do not pre-empt. If the adversary has a better hand than you, he will get the bid anyhow; if he has a poorer hand than you, you might as well get your bid as cheaply as possible.

I bid two hearts. Y, relieved of the necessity of a warning-bid, wisely passed on this hand: 9 943 KQ.T94-3 4 A432 He would have been willing to try two clubs, but not three. He could have been set, at three.And if Z had used the club information to go to two no-trumps, he, in his turn, ...
