Sucker overcall and doubletons in bridge analysis by Jacoby
In this column Jacoby discusses the drawbacks of the sucker overcall in bridge. He cites East holding 11 points and two aces with a weak five card suit, suggesting the overcall could mislead opponents into a doomed contract. South eventually wins a diamond slam, with North and South earning praise for bidding though the slam was laydown only in a duplicate game.
