1 = The advantage of Bergen raises is, that North can raise to 2ª with hands like this.
2 = Any trial bid would be too pessimistic for a team game, and give away the advantage just mentioned. With 16 of his 18 hcp working, and a singleton in ©, South has enough to go to game by himself. Don't use conventions unnecessarily.
