AL78 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Here is an interesting hand not involving me with a NS novice pair against an experienced EW partnership: [hv=pc=n&s=sk97h8dkq765ct983&w=sathk73dj432cak75&n=sqj83hqt942d98cq4&e=s6542haj65datcj62&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=pp1cp1h2d2hppp]399|300[/hv] South throws in a poor overcall (I have since told her not to do that on such poor hands), which talks EW out of their 3NT contract which doesn't make, so they get a near top. I don't think West's 2♥ was right, but after the 2♦ overcall, she has a problem. She was going to re-bid 1NT (15-17) which she can't now, she is not good enough for 2NT, and a takeout double will result in a 2♠ bid opposite, then what? What should West do over 2♦?

apollo1201 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Not familiar of weak NT, but: - isnt X followed by 2NT supposed to show the 15-17 hand with some kind of stopper? - should 2H show I guess either 12-14 unbal for not opening 1NT, or 15-17 bal but in both cases with 4H? And that would almost propell W into game I guess and the top avoided lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 X should show the 15-17 hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
