What should I bid as South


Recommended Posts

I'm not too keen on the takeout double vulnerable on the second round as West could be unlimited, but it does look like your points are 'working' and whilst 652 is hardly a suit, I prefer double than a 2 overcall if West had opened 1.

I'm ok with the south bidding. It could be better (have 4 spades), but takeout doubles are not always ideal. The north hand, though, should bid 2n to show values and hearts stopped. Even if partner had 4 spades, you don't have a hand that is conducive to play in a suit. The 2n bid should put the brakes on partner's bidding if the opponents should continue bidding.

After East's 2 rebid, South's double and North's 2 both seem reasonable.

2 is not such a bad contract.
