Hand Review by Glenna Shanahan - Monday, December 7, 2020- Down 4

 

Comment:  We bid this hand to 4S and obviously wound up in the wrong place.  We went down 4. Where did we go wrong?

Glenna:

W opens 1 ♦️ , N bids 1 ♠️ and I think S can bid 3NT. It shows a full opener with ♦️ stopped and 99.9% of the time a doubloon ♠️. If S is afraid to bid 3 because partner might not have a good hand, 2 is ok? (Sorta). But when N bids 3 ♣️, S must bid 3NT not raise ♠️. The bid didn’t make N’s ♠️ longer, it simply showed a 2nd suit—so should be 5-4 or even 5-5 in the black suits. 3N is a great contact.

Hope this helps!

Glenna
