One word of caution, if you are vulnerable be a little more careful down two is -200, as is down one doubled. If we don’t have that suit, then we bid the next one that we do have.Ģ places to play at the 3 level, so it can include hearts
Partner responds by bidding their best minor suit. The answer is that all the bids are the same, except 2NT shows two suits, in other words, two places to play at the 3 level, so it can include hearts. How do these bids differ after the following auction? With a 5+ minor and no other 4+ card suit With 4+ spades (but prefer double if we can support all suits) With shortness and support for the other 3 suits This means that we strain to reopen in the above auction using one of the following bids: Thus if we have an 8 card fit and roughly half the high cards, perhaps we should try to play the hand.Ī golden rule of competitive bidding is not to let the opponents play in two of a major when they have an eight card fit. The mathematics of suit distributions indicate that if they have an 8 card fit, we usually have one as well.
Let’s look at the classic situation where they are in two of a major:įirst of all, they have less than 26 pts, probably less than 25 their range is roughly 19-24 this leaves plenty of high cards for our side. When the opponents have stopped in a part score at the one or two level, should you pass it out or bid? The answer depends on what contract they have stopped in and what kind of hand you have yourself.
