♠ A 9 8 3 ♥ Q J ♦ 7 6 5 2 ♣ 8 4 3 |
The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? Naturally you make a Takeout Double. Partner responds 1♠. What is your next call? With 17 HCP and the singleton you are not strong enough to insist on game. On the other hand if partner is at the top of his 0-8 point range then game is likely. A raise to 2♠ invites partner to bid game with a maximum. Partner accepts the invitation. Deal 3 |
