I would also bid 4H especially knowing that pd is likely to have CK

???

'Cyberyeti', I heard about different style of bidding in UK and will try to learn more about it. Thank you for the explanation. Is is necessary to warn opps (alert/announcement) if agreed to possible NT opening with a singleton?

Thank you. Actually partner did have four spades. So after 2H he'd comfortably bid 2S. What's next from the cuebidder? Pass?

Thank you, 'mgoetze'. Not used to opening NT with unbalanced hand. Do many players do that nowdays? And opening 1S with four spades?

Thank you, 'Cyberyeti' So if playing InvMinors how would the bidding go? 1D-3D-? 5D was making on this hand. Opps' diamonds were Q4-K2

Thank you, "helene_t" I understand about 2NT Wouldn't cuebid be confusing here? If my partner doesn't have spades, doesn't have heart stopper what are his options after 2H cue?

♠ AK94 ♥ K1087 ♦ J985 ♣ A ♠ 107 ♥ Q9 ♦ A10763 ♣ J862 How shall I bid? 1D - 1NT -Pass? 1D - 2D - Pass?

♠A954 ♥J1074 ♦J104 ♣A3 Bidding: 1♥-2♣-Pass-?

Phil: "So x and 1N = 15-17 over 1m and 17-18 over 1M" Doubled on this hand but partner bid 2C and NT had to be at the 2-level. 2C would be made but 2NT was impossible to make with decent defence.

SteveMoe: "This hand starts with "Double!" " aguahombre: "Yes, IMO it is too strong for a balancing 1NT. After doubling and getting a 2C advance by partner, 2NT seems right, on the add-a-king theory. "

♠ A K 5 ♥ J 10 7 5 ♦ A Q 9 ♣ Q J 2 Bidding goes 1H-P-P-? Too strong for 1NT in a balancing seat, right? If after Double partner bids 2C what to do next?

"It is not as if minimising the number of topics is of any benefit to anyone." Sorry, was not aware of this. Will start new topic.

Will as here not to make a new topic ♠ A K 5 ♥ J 10 7 5 ♦ A Q 9 ♣ Q J 2 Bidding goes 1H-P-P-? Too strong for 1NT in a balancing seat, right? If after Double partner bids 2C what to do next?

Barmar, thank you for your clear easy to digest description :)

Thank you for the replies. Learned a lot. May bring strong hand to the table. Unavoidable I guess On the second hand 4H went down as it was impossible to go to dummy and defense refused to help.

1. What should I bid with 74,K62, 852,KJ1074 after 2C-2D-2S if we agreed on Cheaper Minor as a Second Negative? 2. What should I bid with AK, AQJ1076, AQ105, K after 2C-2D-2H(?)-3C?
