♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ |
The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? When the two Majors have been bid, a Negative Double shows both Minors. So you double. Partner now bids 3♦. What do you say next? |

♠ 7 2 ♥ A K 8 5 4 ♦ K Q 7 5 ♣ J 4 |
The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? When the two Majors have been bid, a Negative Double shows both Minors. So you double. Partner now bids 3♦. What do you say next? This is difficult. You forced partner to bid and he supported your known ♦s. But he didn't jump so you figure him for 13-15 points. Revaluing your hand you get up to 13 points so it is just possible you have a 28 point total. That's not enough for game in ♦s so you pass. As you can see you will lose 2 ♠s and 1 ♣ so you made the right decision. Deal 13 |
