lulu747 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 My online partner opened 2C. With 4HCP + 1 length point (balanced hand & longest suit 5D), I was intending to respond 2D as a waiting bid indicating 0-7 pts. However, my RHO overcalled 2S. As a novice, I wasn't sure what to do....2NT, 3D or pass? I passed. What was the correct response in the circumstances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hi Lulu, welcome to the forum! You might try 2NT if you have a spade stopper, or maybe dbl if you have four hearts (assuming that partner doesn't take dbl as meaning something else), but if you don't have any specific agreements about this situation then pass is fine. 3♦ maybe if the suit is good. You don't have to be afraid that partner also passes. Your pass is forcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Many people use X = 0-3, pass = 4-7 or less commonly the reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Pass is the correct bid. Shows a non-bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
