♠ A Q J ♥ K J ♦ Q 7 6 4 ♣ Q 6 5 3 |
This is the follow-up to Deal 10. North opens 1NT. What do you respond? Just like the previous deal with a 4-card Major you use Stayman. This time partner says 2♦. Your turn again. With partner showing no 4-card Major the bidding takes a turn. With your 6 ♥s you are sure of an 8-card fit in the suit. With 11 points you must be sure of reaching game. So you bid 4♥. In this case the strong hand does not become declarer, but the contract is the right one anyway. Deal 12 |
