Splinter Bids
|
A Splinter Bid is a great way to show your partner you have at least four-card support for his major suit opening bid, a singleton or a void in another suit, and an interest in slam. An example of a Splinter Bid would be:
1H ~~ 4D
This would show a singleton or a void in diamonds, four card heart support, game-going strength, and a slam interest.
Although splinter bids are easy to bid, their use is a little more difficult. You must remember that when you use it, your partner is going to hear that you have a slam interest!! If you don't, find another bid!!
