Problem: Would
you confirm that the West pass on the second bid was correct? I only had
8 HCP plus a length point. I thought I needed 11 points to go to 3NT.
This
is such an unfortunate hand because E is too good to open 1NT. He should open 1
♦️ and then jump to 2NT. W’s
bid of 2 ♦️ makes it impossible for E to
correctly bid. He underbids 2NT and misses game or slightly overbids by bidding
3NT. If W’s bid guarantees 5 ♦️, I would probably bid 3NT
because there is no scientific way to bid this hand. Think everyone should
agree that W’s bid promises 6-10 points, 5 ♦️ and no 4-card major.
You mentioned needing 11 points to bid game in NT and we need to clear that up.
IF partner opens 1NT, you pass with 0-7, bid 2NT with 8 or 9 and bid 3NT with
10-15. Anytime you have 16 or more, look for slam.
Hope
this helps,
