Hand Analysis - Glenna Shanahan - October 26, 2020 - NT over Suit

 

Problem: Do you think this is a good illustration of how to bid no trump starting with a major suit bid?

Glenna:

I don’t like the bidding at all: S should open 1 ♥️  but N should bid 1 ♠️  which is forcing and when S bids 2 ♠️, he can bid ♠️ game. They will make 4 or 5 depending on the defense and 3NT can be held to 3 with excellent defense.  By the way, if N had the 5th ♣️ , he would bid it 1st and then correct her 2NT to 3 ♠️ which is certainly forcing and they would play a ♠️ contract,

  It’s a very common problem that people choose NT over a suit contract because it’s worth 10 extra points and ever so often they get lucky and do get a top for playing in NT. But, most often they make 4NT and a major suit makes 5.  I love it when the opponent give me a nice gift.
