myprac Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I open 1♣ in third seat and it's passed around to RHO who doubles. Among my choices are a value-showing redouble, raising my minimum point count to 15, which makes sense. I can rebid clubs or bid another suit, but the notrump choices seem strange to me (these are from rollover descriptions so I can't display them by posting the hand). I looked at 1NT and was surprised to see a HCP count of 20-21. I guess that could make sense given that partner wasn't able to muster a bid over 1♣ and in keeping with the "slow shows" philosophy. The description for a bid of 2NT in this situation was essentially null: it simply repeated the description for the opening bid of 1♣. Maybe that's because there's no sensible use for a 2NT bid in this situation (again, noting that partner didn't respond to 1♣) unless it's just to prevent opponents from finding a fit. Just checking to see if this is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgi Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Thanks for reporting. Pass - Pass - 1♣ - Pass Pass - Double - 1NT - -- 3+ ♣; 20-21 HCP; 22- total points; stop in ♦; stop in ♥; stop in ♠ Looks like bad explanation, it will be corrected. It's same for all 1* suits being doubled from the passed hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
