The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? You have a perfect 2NT opening hand. Trouble is, the opponents have already opened. You get around that problem by first making a Takeout Double. Partner replies 1♠. What do you bid now? |

♠ A 10 4 2 ♥ 7 5 3 ♦ 8 6 ♣ K 10 6 5 |
The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? You have a perfect 2NT opening hand. Trouble is, the opponents have already opened. You get around that problem by first making a Takeout Double. Partner replies 1♠. What do you bid now? You could not say 1NT on your first bid because that would show 15-18 points. Doubling first, then bidding the lowest level of notrump shows 19-20 points. Of course in both cases you must have their suit adequately stopped. Partner does the math and bids 3NT. Deal 13 |
