N has 16 HCP and opens 1 NT, responder has 6C and 6 HCP. Declarer has interpreted 2C response as suit preference and provides support. Is this the best place to be our are there greener pastures elsewhere?
Glenna:
South
does not have enough points to bid 2 ♣️ even if it’s not stayman—must
have a minimum of 8 points to bid over 1 NT. If NS has decided a method to get
out of NT to play in a minor, they should use the relay method. A relay is to
bid 2 ♠️ over 1NT and N would bid ♣️. South can pass if that is his minor or bid 3 ♦️ if that’s his minor. Responding to NT is to pass with 0-7
(unless they play transfers), invite with 8 or 8 and bid game with 10-15.
That’s very standard NT response!
Hope
this helps,
Glenna
