The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? This is almost the hand you held in Deal 4 - just 3 points stronger in ♦s. So you double, and again partner jumps to 2♠. What do you bid? That extra 3 points makes all the difference. With that singleton ♥ your hand is now worth at least 16 points. Add partner's 9, 10 or 11 and you are at game level. Bid 4♠. Deal 6 |
