♠ Q 7 4 ♥ K Q 6 4 2 ♦ 8 7 ♣ A 5 3 |
Deal 5 |
♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ |
With 12 points you know game is likely, but for now you bid 1♥. Partner rebids 1NT. What do you say next? Partner has 12-14 points, balanced. If he is at the top, game could still be there, but you aren't sure where to play. If partner has only 2 ♥s then NT is probably best, but if he has 3 ♥s then you would prefer to play the 8-card Major fit. New Minor Forcing will allow partner to answer both questions for you. So you bid 2♣. Partner answers with 2NT. What do you bid now? |
