Weekly Hand Analysis - Glenna Shannahan - August 1, 2022 - Response to take out double (TOX)

 

Question:

The question here is a response to partners TO double. E/W have bid C and S. S has D and H and doubles. W bids 1 NT. N has 9 HCP and passes. Should responder have bid instead of passing?

Glenna:

  I think this hand was bid correctly. I love that S made a TOX—good bridge. Shows 2 4-card suits and at least 8 points. Not everyone knows that.  Responder cannot bid 1 NT as W already bid it! Think NS defending (if they take all their tricks) is the best place to be.

Hope this helps,

Glenna
