iandayre Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 http://tinyurl.com/odrzors We have seen several recent hands where after a balancing double and a jump advance by partner, 3NT shows 22-23 points, far in excess of what should be required in view of partner's jump. This hand shows that the same problem exists over a direct seat double. When I double here with 20 HCP and partner jumps to 3C, 3NT is the obvious action, and it should show a hand just too good for a 1NT overcall, or 19-20, exactly what I had. But the description, for some reason, requires 22-23. At MP I saw no alternative but to try 3NT and hope for the best, but not surprisingly partner jumped to 6C. And amazingly enough, helped by a favorable opening lead, I was able to make it. But the situation still needs to be fixed by BBO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
