♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ |
The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? You might just try 4♠. Of course if partner has a minimum Weak Jump Overcall that will get you much too high. A better approach is to ask for more information from partner. The bid that asks is 2NT. Partner replies 3♦. What do you bid now? |

♠ K Q 10 9 3 2 ♥ 8 4 2 ♦ A 6 ♣ 9 2 |
The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? You might just try 4♠. Of course if partner has a minimum Weak Jump Overcall that will get you much too high. A better approach is to ask for more information from partner. The bid that asks is 2NT. Partner replies 3♦. What do you bid now? Partner's 3♦ bid tells you two things. One, he is in the top half of his 6-11 point range. Two, he has a high card (Ace or King) in ♦s. When you construct a hand for him which contains 6 pretty good ♠s and the ♦A you come up with a hand which will probably make game. Bid 4♠. Back to Summary |
