♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ |
The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? Now that East has stolen your response you aren't strong enough to make a free-bid at the 2-level. You pass, West bids 2♦ and partner doubles again. Now what? |

♠ A 8 4 ♥ K Q J 6 ♦ 9 2 ♣ K Q J 6 |
The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say? Now that East has stolen your response you aren't strong enough to make a free-bid at the 2-level. You pass, West bids 2♦ and partner doubles again. Now what? This is not a penalty double, partner is merely repeating his request for you to name a suit. But now he expects you to choose between ♥s and ♣s. You bid 3♣ and everybody passes. You may be one too high, but that still might be a good score if they can make 2♦. Deal 22 |
