Deal 6 |
♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ |
The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? You'd really like to have 4-card support for both Majors when you double a Minor. But it's not a requirement. So you double and hear partner respond 2♦. East then chips in with 3♦. What now? |

♠ K Q 9 5 ♥ A J 7 3 ♦ 9 6 3 ♣ K 7 |
The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? You'd really like to have 4-card support for both Majors when you double a Minor. But it's not a requirement. So you double and hear partner respond 2♦. East then chips in with 3♦. What now? Don't let East's bid bother you, he's just trying to push the envelope. You have a good hand and partner's bid shows 12+ points and is forcing to game. Now you have to find the right game, and the best way to start is by showing a 4-card Major suit. You bid 3♠. That was what partner needed to hear, he bids 4♠. Deal 7 |
