♠ K J 6 4 ♥ K Q 5 ♦ J 4 ♣ A J 9 5 |
The bidding has gone as shown. It is your bid. With 18 points you want to show your extra strength. Since you have only 5 trumps you show the strength by bidding 3NT. Partner then bids 4♣. What do you say next? Now is the time when YOU would make a control bid. And if you had either red Ace you would do so. Since you don't have one, you have no option but to say 4♠. Partner recognizes that you are off those two Aces and passes. Summary |
