♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ |
North opens 1NT. What do you respond? This may go against your instincts, but if you're going to play Stayman then you should follow the rules. Granted that you have a great ♠ suit, you also have 4 ♥s. And when you have a 4-card Major you use Stayman. You bid 2♣ and partner says 2♥. What do you bid now? |
