You would have opened 1NT but East beat you to it. You cannot double for penalties when you use DONT, so you pass. Partner bids 2♠ in the balancing seat. What do you bid now? |

♠ K 10 8 6 5 2 ♥ J 6 3 ♦ 10 5 ♣ 8 7 |
You would have opened 1NT but East beat you to it. You cannot double for penalties when you use DONT, so you pass. Partner bids 2♠ in the balancing seat. What do you bid now? The 2♠ bid shows a weak hand, with more strength partner would have first doubled, then bid 2♠. Still, you know he has a 6-card suit and you also know that every finesse is going to work. You either bid 3♠ or 4♠. Be bold. Deal 13 |
