DO Listen to the bidding. This admonition could have been included with the part about maintaining concentration. Everything that happens during the auction provides information – data that can be used by both sides once the final contract is reached. Think about it. If your left-hand opponent passes as dealer, the information is already flowing: LHO does not have enough high-card strength to open. He almost surely has fewer than 12 HCP. Remembering this can help you locate key honors as you strive to make your contract or go for overtricks. Say one of your opponents enters the auction to show a two-suited hand. Conventions such as the Michaels cuebid and Unusual 2NT typically promise at least 5-5 in the two long suits – more information you can use as you play the contract.
