Problem: How did South know how to go to 3NT right away?
Glenna:
I was the defender and Charlotte Lindstrom made the great bid and gave us a
zero, Here’s what she knew: Her daughter, Mary, opened 1NT. and she
had 10 pts. counting the 5th card in a suit as 1 extra point. So, we bid NT
games with 1-15 points and she did it. She didn’t use transfers or stamen (sic) because she had no length in the majors. Mary played it nicely and they
received a top!
Not all people count length points, but I think they should as 5-card suits are
much more valuable than 4-card suits, etc.
