Frequency aids memory.<br /><br />If you want to increase frequency and hence memory, do a similar thing after 1H-P-2H. 2NT as both minors or just diamonds; 3C or 3D as that minor plus spades. Double could be just clubs, with Advancer bidding 2NT if he would have bid 3D.Kenneth Rexford, Esq.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03546227934953411090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115633791110477890.post-12808026186272569942011-03-28T16:55:55.661-07:002011-03-28T16:55:55.661-07:00I like it.
