You don't have a 6-card suit, nor do you have a 5-4 pair of suits. So even with a singleton you don't want to use DONT here. So you pass. Partner makes a DONT double in the balancing seat. What do you bid now? |

You don't have a 6-card suit, nor do you have a 5-4 pair of suits. So even with a singleton you don't want to use DONT here. So you pass. Partner makes a DONT double in the balancing seat. What do you bid now? Right now you probably have a premonition about what is going to happen next. But there really is nothing you can say other than 2♣. Your premonition came true. Partner passes and you are left playing 2♣ with a singleton. Nobody promised that DONT would always get you to a good contract. Deal 9 |
