phoenixmj Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 We are relatively new to spiral 2NT and we had a hand today where we had interference after the 2M bid. The bid went - 1D, P, 1S, P, 2S, double So - if there had been an overcall after the 1 spade bid, I can do a support double (or redouble if that person doubles). But, if the double comes after the 2S bid - then how does the responder bid? Is spiral still on? Suppose they bid higher than 2N? As always, any help is appreciated.

apollo1201 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hello. I don’t play spiral as I never (oh, well, once a year maybe) raise w/ 3. However, like any game try bids, I would suggest that the X can be « forgotten » and bid as if opponent had passed (maybe a bit more cautiously). And XX maybe is I want to compete to 3M but only if you have 4 cds? If opponents steal some more space, an available bid between the overcall and 3M becomes a game try (not showing or asking anything special in the suit as there might only be one bid available, eg you have S and they overcall 3D, only 3H is available) and X is penalty. If there is no available bid (eg you have H and they overcall 3D), then X is your only game try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I would play spiral still on here and XX as "naughty opp, hope you are prepared to go for 500". ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
