Limit raises in bridge bidding discussed by Jim and Oswald
In early contract play limit raises were common for nonforcing bids after a spade opening. They note a shift to four to show strong hands, creating harder slam bidding. The pair argues for returning to limit raises to handle hands that require a forcing raise and illustrates with a hand from Win at Bridge. Four spades can be a laydown, while misused raises allow opponents to overcall and save points through defensive five-diamond lines.
