This week’s bridge tip, “Rule of 15” is actually a guide. Apply this rule to help you determine to open the bidding in fourth seat. Fourth hand should add the number of high points and the number of spades. If that total is 15, open the bidding. If not, pass. The theory behind this is that the high cards are evenly distributed, and the fourth hand should open having between the two hands the majority of the high points. It is extremely helpful if the fourth hand has four or five spades.
Good luck and Merry Christmas!
