Right time for an overbid in a bridge game
The article explains a late bid of two spades by South with eight high cards and a favorable distribution. North raises to three spades, inviting game, and South proceeds to game aided by a favorable heart ace-queen layout. The lesson: overbid when you have a good suit fit and a freakish distribution or partner has a fit.
