zillahandp Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Poor first bid by east, why not just raise spades. P may then have had a better view i.e how many spade tricks you have. Now you are in outer guess land, just cos you have a convention does not mean you have to use it, have you discussed what the UCB might mean as opposed to say a comp. double or a single or double raise, esp in resect of support and controls?

Cyberyeti Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 In keeping with the theme started by Rainer, a 1NT advance with this hand seems perfectly reasonable so I think automatic is a slight overbid. And also we play our overcalls stronger than most so don't do the "deduct a king" type approach for 1N, it's the same 5-bad 9 that it would be over an opening bid. We don't have a natural 2N available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
