Weekly Hand Analysis - Glenna Shannahan - May 31, 2021 - Overcall or Double?


 Question:  Could W double after the pre-empt? Or was it up to East?

Glenna:

W should overcall 1 NT. We overcall NT with 15-18 points and stopper(s) in the opening bid suit. We make take out doubles (tox) when we have shortness in the opening bid suit and at least 3-card support in the other 3 suits. Your partner would raise you to 3NT since he has his 13-15 points needed for game (and it’s nice that he has the ️ K!!!!!) Have a great weekend, Glenna
